me. today. rough draft
Waves roll over waves
Houses float
Water retreats to sometime come again.
Toori & Doori now sports a boat
Island girl
Where is your home by the Sea?
You knew this could happen
Could have been Nippon’ed in the bud
by living in more unfamiliar lands.
but we make do with what is within our borders.
Percentages are tricky things.
We probably won’t see a meltdown.
When we do it shouldn’t be bad.
And if it is, just think of all the cheap current we had:
For Pachinko
Television
Datsun
(it rose and blinded me right and proper).
And a sporty Canon camera
(take a picture, why doncha? It’ll last longer).
We can probably eat the cows
Say ‘eat!’ and I’ll kobe.
Fractions of percentages of compromises
poisoning along the way.
Sold down the river
One more disaster for man to solve.
So what if we created the problem?
Would that weaken your resolve?
Somehow this island drifted from the rest
But still retains the spirit of the West.
Comfort and entertainment an overriding drive.
While lower nations lack the water to survive.
Waves push and mankind expands.
Land on a beach and then form into bands
Of countrymen, followers
(each the ‘best in the world’)
We protect what we know.
Some liberties have been taken-
Don’t worry. Not yours. May your patriotism not be shaken.
Glow or be covered in soot?
Pretty poor choices in my book.
Sold down the river. Soon these fractions will add up.
‘Forward!’ because we can-
Before we agree upon what we are advancing.
