A crucible of culture
Irresistible and intangible
Hope that drives our world
To this world
A world diverse
In culture
In levels of ignorance
But there are some spots
Spots that are
Bleached
Spots where all you see is
White
Spots with roughly
No diversity at all
But no matter where you are
No matter the population
That surrounds you
We will always strive
For that bright distant
Green light
The green light
That blinds us
Blinds us
Until all we see is
Green
Drowning in a sea of
Green
Bathing in a tub full of
Green
The green manifests us all
The want for green
Corrupts
Destroys
Kills
No one wants to be like
James Gatz
Yet blind ambition
Makes history
Repeat itself
---
A certain shade of green
Flies in the sky
All that comes here want
This certain shade of green
Why does such a shade
Excite the
WORLD?
Why is such a shade
So deeply
HATED?
Why does such a shade
Carry such a
DEMENTED IDEAL?
This shade does not deliver
HAPPINESS
We ourselves define the shade’s
MEANING
But everything in this world
Can’t possibly be
All about that
GREEN SHADE
What of the kidnapped Ancients
Oppressed by the Natives
Down at the bottoms of
THE MISSISSIPPI?
What of their lives and the
Dystopia that they
RESIDE?
What of the raft that ventured
Ventured down the stream of
THE MISSISSIPPI?
Did ever they witness the
Horror of the Ancients
And their dystopia brought forth
By the Natives?
What was their DREAM?
---
Everyone wonders about the DREAM
A dream so vastly versatile
Currency
Happiness
Freedoms
Paradise
In a world of
Despair
Complaints
Narcissism
Maybe the DREAM
Is to escape the world of
DESPAIR
And enter a blissful
White and green
PARADISE
Everyone wonders about the DREAM
A dream that has no one
Concrete definition
Why do we worry so much about
Such an abstract concept?
In the words of the scarecrow
The scarecrow before it was such
“Nothing matters, but
Knowing nothing matters,
It’s just life, so
Keep dancing
THROUGH”
Maybe the DREAM this whole time
Is just
LIVING LIFE
