day dreaming

preservation of cultural identity was never part of the plan

but it had a nice ring to it

so academics

and elites

alike

found opportunity in vulnerability

and we wonder why there's christmas decorations

before Thanksgiving

preserving a dream that was never really dreamt

at least

not while sleeping

but done while

waiting for the clouds to crack

and the sky to drop

the forebodings

of a frustrated weatherman

but still no message

from the messenger himself

they say that

the Amazon

is the lung of the Earth

and we're smoking...

what does that make the Congo?

Apparently the rape capital of the world*
