Noah Is Inside of You

there is a noah inside of you
the children and animals have only YOU


TO BE NOAH

LET THEM LIVE!!!!

AT LEAST FIGHT FOR THEM


WE HAVE FELT SO DEFEATED THAT WE
have not tried

we quit voting after Reagen
astounded that so many bought that con
isolated in our minds
by the gracious forgiveness
that bastard Reagen demonized as he raged against
his mental case created sickles

you have not been defeated yet

NOT THIS TIME

you stay out of the fight
you are fighting for them

apathy will make you
an asset to our enemy
simply vegeing out on your couch
will become dancing a dervish with demons

your addictions to tv and sports and music
could defeat us crusaders and mad men
and poets and artists and actors and politicians
and you
more cruely than any enemy

Defeat would leave those of us who try
wondering whether you were worth it
I at least will answer calm and firm
"Of course,
and I would
follow those orders again."
