Give ear to my words, O Lord, Pay heed to my protest for you are not a God friendly to politicians neither are you a partisan of their politics nor are you influenced by their propaganda neither are you in league with the people...

Politic-ans...

Like empty beer cans,
like empty cigarette butts;
Our days have been like that.
Like figures passing on a
T.V. screen.
And disappearing,
so my life has gone.
Like cars going by fast
on the roads
with girls laughing and radios
playing...
Beauty got obsolete as fast
as car models
and forgotten radio hits.
Nothing is left of those
days,
nothing,'
but empty beer cans,

cigarette butts,
smile on faded photos,
torn tickets
and the sawdust with which,
in the mornings,
they swept out the bars.

Do we love them?
Do we trust them?
Do we...
