on the Earth!, that pagan whale's
thick belly
owned more and more
by the greedy few....
...on the ghettos of the Earth
gone brown with deed,
gone gray in the mind
like an urban wintertime
...gone thin once more
like a shaggy whore
whose passion beat down
in this sick soldier town
loves alone such things
as drugs and money
...the money to buy
salvation as a high
in a good place for prophets
to lie down and die...
