tcr moon - Slow Moving Turtles

Slow moving sea turtles br Beached with Orca meals; br Minotaural complexities in zonal proximity br br And mastodons crash without wheels... br br Empty echoing mines shafts br Funded with the tears of a nation, br Reconstituted recyclables stand firm br br On addressees and procrastination. br br Eyes that see a million pictures br In paranormal avenues of glasnost, br Where I sit alone in a tepid bathtub, br br Singing along with Michael Buble’s “Lost” br br Out of earshot, naturally so br And the accompanying video is deemed a nasty br While dolphins die in pools of blood br br Such images initiate nightmares long lasting. br br The sea is calm today br As I view the panorama in my mind’s eye br And cut myself shaving, blooded yes br br But I’m not about to die br br In sylloquial anguish and pain br As the world turns, mocked by death br Inflicting mankind’s cruellest hand br br While I slumber lazily in my bed. br br What can I do? What, should I do? br Smiling makes little difference at all, br Children in blazing hot deserts fall by the score br br While I worry if today I’ll hear God’s call. br br Supermarkets sell on unlawful kills. br Kids on street corners are all popping pills. br Governments gorge on than their fill. br But ignorance laughs while apathy kills. br All run away and hide in the hills. br Far from slow moving turtle's idyll. br More important, grindstone, nose and mill, br Oxford 1 Manchester cathedral nil! br And I scratch away with an inked up quill. br Coffee hot, bashful warring, the chills br Oblivious like slow moving turtles br And ignorance laughs while apathy kills... br br Look ye above, look on until br The rains shall parade 'pon windows of sill, br Acidic and deadly, comes to maim at will br br While ignorance laughs and apathy kills...
