Joys of Thought

Rearrange the chairs again
or is that a bit redundant?
Re-rearrange and then again
don’t think about the world

Chairs in a row,
or a circle now, this time?
It brings them all together
whilst the world disintegrates

Raise the Flag, align the chairs
tell them it’s all wrong!
Attack! Attack! Attack!
This time we’re sure to win!

It’s never worked before
- this thing -
declaring who’ s the winner
Plot and scheme and counter-plot
or overwhelming force

Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Rights! Rights! Rights!
We grant and take away
Ideas, feelings, empty words
they’re all for me to say!

A circle now all in a row
perhaps a dusting soon,
while people die
and squirrels cry
and what about that spider?

The little creatures
unaware -
will they survive our fall?
Do they know how Great we are?
Do they know of us at all?
We're EXCEPTIONAL, you know!

Build a web, dig a hole
eat what can be eaten -
Try not to think
or even blink -
best to just stay hidden

Avoid awareness
at all costs!
It's much too, far too, way too
disconcerting

Don’t write these stupid poems
don't read these stupid poems
Just sleep and clean the windows
