[ SK ] different day same shit

happens to the best of us  
    
Bucko, while the rest of the world    
is driving their Chevrolets    
shopping at Wal-Mart and    
watching Friends on TV    
boarding trains of thought    
with their own carry on baggage    
oblivious of the circumstances    
you struggle to escape    
     
---nothing and I mean    
NOTHING is allowed in or out      
through the perimeter    
     
Give it up    
---call it quits---    
hands in the airspace;    
you're surrounded    
     
Sky's no longer the limit    
---it's OFF LIMITS!    
     
Absolutely no idealistic notions    
will be taking off or intuition      
is coming in for a landing;   
they're as good as grounded    
     
In fact, anything from points of    
origin considered unknown    
is unconventional and therefore    
deemed unsafe --- fresh thought      
brought to a grinding halt    
as all ideas are classified      
alien    
     
That Memory Warehouse with    
its nostalgia you're so fond of?      
     
What dreams there were    
are now in Lockdown    
     
And what dreams may come?    
     
Caught in the neural network    
of victimhood, self pity, doubt  
---never getting out alive    
     
wiped off the face of your      
Armpit, Kentucky, USA, Earth    
by the Boys in Blue with their    
Black Helicopters
