Humanity Is Driving

Well beyond its headlights

In a thick fog of confusion

First, by not knowing where

They are going as a whole

Let alone where they’ve been

It is all just mumbo jumbo

Between ecstasy and depression

Hoping that not everyone

Dies in the catastrophic crash

Piling up in a galactic fireball

On the interstellar interstate

That someone is left to

Catch the whole thing

On their cell phone camera

So the leftover zombies

Will have something to

Entertain themselves with and

Contemplate what went wrong

That it was mindlessly caught

Up in frivolous distractions

Sports & imbecilic entertainment

Conflicts for the sake of conflicts

When divine recognition was

Just a step and breath away

If only, if only, if only, if only

They would have listened to

Their heart with minds guidance

Instead of their ego and vanity

Coasting on sexy superficiality

Micro aggression and big brutality

Artificial genders or neutrality

Finding no truth in duality

Seeking chaos, not clarity





To no end other than to be



“Amused To Death”

//

The little ones sit by their TV screens
No thoughts to think
No tears to cry
All sucked dry
Down to the very last breath
Bartender, what is wrong with me
Why I am so out of breath
The captain said, “Excuse me ma’am
This species has amused itself to death”


Amused itself to death
Amused itself to death
We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
We bought and sold
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over


We oohed and aahed
We drove our racing cars
We ate our last few jars of caviar
And somewhere out there in the stars
A keen-eyed look-out
Spied a flickering light
Our last hurrah


And when they found our shadows
Groups ’round the TV sets
They ran down every lead
They repeated every test
They checked out all the data in their lists
And then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed


But on eliminating every other reason
For our sad demise
They logged the only explanation left
This species has amused itself to death
No tears to cry
No feelings left


This species has amused itself to death
Amused itself to death”


– Roger Waters
