The Great Society (1966)

My feet have lost intention
Having tortured eternities rocks
Accompanied by morons
In babbling ceaseless walks

My ears transverse the highways
Suctioned with the earth
Observing of the bipeds
Surplacing truth with mirth

My heart embelched with blood
Fasting on stagnant loans
Ventricles lost in tandom
Love deprived by zones

My hands lie in starvation
Pulsating repressed expression
Freed from the right to work
By unionized regression



My mind engulfed by history
Fowled in the circling flight
Loses concept of all reason
In the senseless spiraled plight

Slavery impales its master
mayhem dissolves in light
Then Freedom slays its own
Paper voices biannual Tuesday nights

My eyes then rupture inward
Basking in relative light
Transcend back to the outward
Insignificant from the sight

Outward sees the rust
Inward feels the right
The Great Society leads onward
Adding darkness to the night
