I don't want to wear my head
nor sleep in my bed

it's these dreams that fan over me
like the celebrity panic on tv

and the world washes me away
steals my thoughts for
it's dimes and wothless play

It's evil or absurd
the craoking of that bird

a constant chatter
of what doesn't matter

and the world washes me away
steals my thoughts for
it's dimes and worthless way

cackling hens in the strangest place
a big distorted dog inside a vase

walking on the 2nd most valued land
I wanted to run but was stopped by your hand

and the world washes me away
steals my thoughts for
it's dimes and worthless day

So I gave in, stopped the fight
eradicated all demons in hope of flight

singing to the sky
praying to the bee
the old black homeless man
brought sanity to me

and the world washes us away
steals our thoughts for
it's dimes and wothless melee

wow. while the subject is obviously understood by many (i think), you used some original ways to describe it.

"It's evil or absurd
the croaking of that bird" **especially this one

"cackling hens in the strangest place
a big distorted dog inside a vase"

nice.

It reminds me of just being there...listening to the hype you hear of the entertainment buisiness....the durgs and parties....the whole time realizing there's someone out there thats got it so bad while youre so tempted to party it up,,but this other person is sufferring.(We're all really sufferring but)
Great poem....especially this line...to me:)
