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.
