the pressure

is building it is mounting it is ever present
it is prescient it is more aware of the self than
the self is of itself it builds faster than a team 
of construction workers in the summer sun
their voices swearing and cursing the name
of god the one who made the one who cast
his favor onto us for a horrible disappointment
are you sure he is disappointed yes i am pretty
sure so am I cast in his image are we statues
for such a servile purpose our thoughts run
afoul of our actions and the two stop to think
about what the present course will be but they
never seem to agree on anything so what can
they do but agree to disagree splitting the 
difference the blithering voices of the fools
of our blood never cease to be never cease
to speak their inanities the cause of ill ease
can't go back can't take back this no one no
not no one are we begging yet are we willing
to scream please are we aware of our lives 
as a planetary disease spread without check
across the skin of gaia have you wondered 
what she is doing to solve her problem this
infestation on her situation the placation of 
our conscious thoughts with simple baubles
too shiny to look away from oh so pretty oh
you pretty thing how easily you believe all 
the things they say about you could be tell 
me some pretty things too lie to me lie to
you lets pretend lets pretend there is no 
raison for this to no longer be we we wii
what is the symptom of awareness in this
state of hyberbolic reality there is a thin
line of sanity that is being erased as we draw
it in the sand but there is no one to keep 
track so we erase what we create we create
only to erase we are builders bent on destruction
we are builders who excel at demolition there
is a final consequence to this position this 
mission full of folly oh golly will you please
refrain and reframe this argument into some
thing resembling words or order or sense or
hope or anything but chaos and madness and
depression and hopelessness a fear a dread
of the unseen and unsaid there is no hope 
but there always is thats the paradox to our 
lives and world that we constantly live our 
lives until it all blows out like a candle on a
picnic table in the evening at the end of summer.
