This Is For The Birds


Ya know death does not agree with me.
Like lying in the sun.
But sometimes I like thinking about it.
Just for a little fun.

Get your financial affairs in order first.
All your papers too.
Slowly tell folks of your terminal fate.
But only tell a few.

Then reality hits like a train of bricks.
Withering on the floor.
Gonna miss all the things your gonna miss.
They're gonna miss you more.

Matrimonies, parties, babies, and talks.
Reading and writing words.
Holding hands and playing in bands.
This is for the birds.

Pain don't make much difference to me.
Got pills for that, ya know.
Really gonna miss all my lifelong friends.
Some I'm just gettin' to know.

But the doctor said all I needed was meds.
Give it bout 4 weeks.
Hurts like a mother, feels like no other.
But still on my feet.

Felt I was a goner, wouldn't live no longer.
For an entire day.
In a total haze, nostalgic and crazed.
Took some time to pray.

Nerves and worry, we can do without.
Learn to forgive.
But don't need to worry bout that no more.
Guess I'm s'pposed to live.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
