Global Village Idiot

(n.walusko)

Got a letter - maybe better that I get a piece of you instead.
All the chatter doesn't matter when you realize it wasn't read.
Can't be nothing when it's something that will get
Attention anyhow,
Like a doggy in the window with his head a-going up
And down.
Sister suzie with an uzi that eventually got her fame.
Next door neighbors doing favors for a pipe dream in
The media drain.
"she was always such a quiet...such a quiet neighbor
Of a girl."
But no one asked her what it's like to be a stranger in a
Stranger world.
Have a vision in collision with the vehicles you had to rent.
Loud as honey dripping money for ideas in retirement.
Little brother watching big brother watching for a
Thought disease.
And no one caught 'em picking petals in the minds
Of psychodaisies.
Stop the world, stop the world, I'm a global
Village idiot.
As it turns, as it turns out to be the biggest job
I forget
Tone of silence rings the violence like a halo resting
On the horns.
Make the angels so pathetic with their cybernetic
Crown of thorns.
