Our Heartland’s Consumed

I dunno why you would be

In demand for a flat

Surface for thinking...

...I assumed 

We were at

A much better place,

But our culture keeps 

Hacking

Away at the rock

Of inherent sense...

...We all got 'it' inside!...

We don't need to break down

In pathetic attempts to 

Inherit some crown.

All our public relations

Are so badly poised!...

...We've been donning 

This mask 

For the girls, and boys...

But there's no longer

Reasons,

And our time's 

Running out...

...There's a bland band-

aid peeling,

And it's exposing

Doubts.

I dunno why you would be

In demand for a flat

Surface for thinking, but

This is where we're at!...

...In a land without 

Metaphor,

Devoid of full

Moon...

...Yes, her likeness is

Out there,

But our Heartland's

Consumed 

By the gags and

The quips, and

Politically right....

...So obsessed in 

Their stature

That they don't

See the light...
