swallow it, swallow it

i lay awake at night thinking of
should not be named
swallow it, swallow it
gobble it up
oooooh it's easy
when you can
buy anything
to be happy

in this world i do not see
homeless people on the street
in this world i do not feel
earthquakes that bring nations to knees
in this world i do not hear
pets paws patter on a backcrete
in this world i do not smell
urine and burgers and tired
i this world i do not taste
acid in the rain or on the golden heat
