You live in a world all polished and clean
with cushy plush carpets and cool
satin sheets,
trying to keep all things dirty
at bay,
you can smear it around, but it
won't wash away.
F - A - / F - G - :||
Your
illustrious haunts will never be mine,
so I'm just gawking at
so I'm just gawking at
your
extra exotic, fancy flowerbeds as I go running by.

You shipped this flower across
the sea
to live out its life as your
centerpiece.
Trying to find satisfaction in
indulgence
is an exercise in total nonsense.
You've cleverly leveraged a
heartless machine
to live out your life inside of a
dream.
With eyes shut tight, you never
bother to see
the suffering on which your
pleasure feeds.
There's beauty out there that
your money can't touch,
though you might not put stock in
it much.
You're holding on tight day after
day,
but the essence of beauty is in
passing away.
Your
illustrious haunts will never be mine,
but I'm perfectly fine
but I'm perfectly fine
with
the beauty I happen to find as I go running by.
