POETIC INSIGHT

EARTH CRY

GIVE ME A STICK TO PICK MY TEETH

CAUSE YOU HAVE FED ME ENOUGH MYTH.

 

YOU HAVE FORCED ME TO SWALLOW BOTH THE SWEET BLOOD OF THE GUILTY AND THE BITTER BLOOD OF THE INNOCENT.

 

GIVE ME A STICK TO PICK MY TEETH.

YOU HAVE POISONED YOUR HEARTS AGAINST EACH OTHER,

WITH YOUR OWN HANDS YOU HAVE SOLD OUT LOVE.

YOU TRANSACT BUSINESS WITH THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

 

GIVE ME A STICK TO PICK MY TEETH.

NATIONS KILLING THEMSELVES, CHILDREN FIGHTING WARS,

SO MUCH HATERED YOU HAVE ACCOMMODATED FOR SO LONG.

 

GIVE ME A STICK TO PICK MY TEETH.

IN YOUR QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE IN SCIENCE,

YOU INFLICT SO MUCH PAIN AND INJURY ON ME.

MY SKIN YOU PIERCE, EXPOSING ME TO RAYS SO DANGEROUS.

 

GIVE ME A STICK TO PICK MY TEETH.

YOU ENCOURAGE YOUR KIDS TO GIVE ME THE PILLS,

THOSE BITTER, DIFFICULT TO SWALLOW PILLS OF CORRUPTION.

 

SURELY, I NEED A STICK WITH WHICH TO PICK MY TEETH.

GIVE ME THE STICK, FOR WITH THE STICK,

I SHALL SURVIVE.

 

I SHALL TAKE OUT THE TRASH FROM WITHIN MY TEETH.

CAUSE FAR FROM ME IS THE NEEDED APPETITE FOR MORE.

GIVE ME A STICK TO PICK MY TEETH.
