hope might be
going or
gonethe people have been robbed
the planet is burning
hair-triggers itching
no woman no cry
who woulda
thought
a free field
of cannabismainstreamed and televised
enough to buy off
a generation or two
would be enough to buy obedience
complete
liberation
doesn't come
so cheapthe secret banks and the
not so secret political hacks
claim victory every day
of the manufactured consensus
like it's an easy tax write-off
good
friends we've had
and
good friends we've lostalong the way
for them
we must still
traverse every river
canyon
mountain
ocean
in search of the pure water
the holy water
we have but
our feet
our only
carriage
