Removing the Wool - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

I wanna work in a hospital
watch the babies die
pull the plug on a vegetable
smile and clean up the corpse's shit
vented with the rest of it

walking down the street
a few hours later
seeing the happy clones
feeling the glares of hatred
grinning since i know what's to come

more death
more disaster
wool over your eyes
providing your happy life ever after
wool in the name of niavity
also called christianity

presidents will die
black flags will fly
i will watch babies die
sit and watch relatives cry
pulling plugs
and cleaning up the shit
grinning forever
