eight babies were born
and four elders died
Assuming it took about
two seconds?
Give or take
I shouldn't assume
making an ass of u and me
and probably
some starving children in poverty.
Eat your veg kids!
Around the world
right now
countless
in floods of tears. Sad.
Imagine if we collected it!
We could fill bathtubs
and wash the blood streaks
from newborns.
You know, the ones that were just born.
Oops, two more just popped out.
Better whack on Titanic.

Feeling like the unluckiest person
that ever walked this Earth
Others feeling if they could
(walk this Earth that is)
they'd be the luckiest ever.
But if they could they'd soon
wish for something more too.
Sometimes I'll squash an ant
and imagine his little ant family
holding a funeral, in their
Sunday best suits.
Just like mine would.
We're not special.
We're not lightning bolts
never hitting the same spot again.
We're all hitting the same big red
emergency button.
We all want, and we need
and we kiss and we shit
and we
Want
Want
Want
Want
Till one day
we drop the requests
and drop dead.
