Pacific Views
You've been had. You've been took. You've been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok. - Malcolm X

This is our time for piety
Some rigid sobriety
A death watch for cities
A wake for the laws
The supply lines are cut
We've run out of Glen Livet
And on some other day
We might really have cared
They're coming, still coming
So we'll get busy lying
Tell me we wait in the park
For the fireworks show
Your pome reminded me of one I find myself muttering on the bad days:
The Age Demanded
The age demanded that we sing
And cut away our tongue.
The age demanded that we flow
And hammered in the bung.
The age demanded that we dance
And jammed us into iron pants.
And in the end the age was handed
The sort of shit that it demanded.
--Ernest Hemingway
