Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Keep Dancing



image source

Nothing new in Newtown
Just more murder
Fresher meat for the kill
Fresh new thrill
Pumped full of bullets
Pumped fists
Just more bullshit
Pump up the bass
and keep dancing

Pump up the bass
We’re base
debased
Lives erased
A waste
Expendable
Spendable
Endable
Pump up the bass
and keep dancing
 
Death of innocents
Of innocence
What’s a life worth
in dollars and cents?
 Worthless
Are their lives worth less?
Pump up the bass
and keep dancing

 Pump up the bass
Suburban basements
Guns from casements
Just in case, man
Race 
for the sound bite
NRA say it is my right
Right
Good night and sleep tight
Dubstep over the bodies
Pump up the bass
Keep dancing
