Sometimes

Sometimes 
I feel myself committing suicide
in this maddening crowd
as if a god beyond recognition
living our pretences and lies behind murderous sounds
screaming and yelling and cursing oft times
stressing the point that we're the gods of the streets
goddesses of airways of screens and coffee machines

What matter does it take if this space is not ours
if the streets are of cornflakes and air is of blood
cause we'll spill all of it there if we are in charge
pretending that we are when brandishing our gun

When we sniff our cocaine or force someone to be smug
it's the sane madness we've been harboring as we hunger for jobs

We labor for space to rest our heads
when we long for a bed without chinches within

We swallow down shit in the liquorish state
shouting brother sister come bring me some cake

Oh I feel like committing suicide as if it was all
all that was needed to salve headaches in the American Mall
to heal racist rhetoric from the political stalls
aching breaking the humane-wonder of all

So what shall I do as I wiggle and crawl
attempting to stay sane in the insanity hall

Rise up I hear rise and install
install some new vision for yourself and for all
a street without garbage a yard as a park
abort ourselves from the puritanical dark
for Death has destroyed our sense of joy
Death, the bearer of the puritanical pall
smothering embalming the most humanistic call
from the God who redeemed us by forgiving us all

Forgive forgive that's the refreshment we need
saving ourselves from panic and clearing our heads
