Thora Flowers

unadulterated pain with its butterflywings mutated
they know how to morph but not fly
in sync with smiles that don't form from the soul
plastic, no paper will heal our planet
Who will heal the heart?

we used to know one another without talking
now we're afraid to look in each other's lying eyes
it's okay, smile nod, of course it is
penetrate the lie and sit and fib for a while

I don't know about you, but I'm dying inside
things are changing at light speed
but are they? I had a baby alive at five

Technology gets angry if you don't equate
Math will never understand a man and woman's desire
Where has our humanity gone
or did we ever have any

slighting each other
boxing this person, then this group
well god damn how things change and stay the same

Are they going to send us failed stepford wives to Mars
spread your legs one two three four
you fatties okay today gone tomorrow

Where is unconditional love for us humans
has it disappeared I'm a motherfucker but even I am in hiding
at my core self
the true me

Swing I will protect the needful inside and outside me
I have them in hiding
come after my horde, I will attack you, you are warned
one falls, another steps up

You aren't tall enough for this ride
back up, get my credentials
hand me your sleazy greeting card
and I'll leave you in the waiting room listening to Thorazine music
that's what you really needed
there now
