== The Foundation for the Preservation of a Dissociative Society == | |||
By Reverend Mitchel “Mik” McAllister | |||
Jessica thinks she’s beautiful <br /> | |||
As she puts paper flowers in her hair<br /> | |||
And waves to the paparazzi<br /> | |||
Walking past on the red carpet sidewalk<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Michael thinks he’s famous<br /> | |||
As he sings in the bus stop concert hall<br /> | |||
And thanks the Academy<br /> | |||
For another whiskey bottle Oscar<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Ashley thinks she’s an artist<br /> | |||
As she paints the air with strokes of her hands<br /> | |||
And basks in the silent accolades<br /> | |||
Of the blind critics who walk right through<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Christopher thinks he’s a genius<br /> | |||
Taking apart the broken abandoned radio<br /> | |||
And builds a time machine<br /> | |||
For the bored investors getting off the train<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Brittany thinks she’s a philosopher<br /> | |||
On the cusp of quantifying the soul<br /> | |||
And discourses with a hundred Prousts Sartes Descartes<br /> | |||
Incapable of speaking the same language<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Matthew thinks he’s a pundit<br /> | |||
Updating his Friends on Facebook<br /> | |||
And propounds on the state of the world<br /> | |||
As they click to the next page about kittens<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
The passers-by think they’re important<br /> | |||
Each a queen a president a general a celebrity<br /> | |||
And ignore the invisible voiceless creatures<br /> | |||
Sleeping on the sidewalks doorways benches lawns<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
Everyone thinks they are human<br /> | |||
And each one is the only one<br /> | |||
<br /> | |||
