Eye to Eye
Eco Slam
Insane, they call me Hearing a planet in pain Choked by Trump that chump committing ecocide While Bibi dreams genocide Bombing kids in a Persian school Oh—that again’s the other fool So what did Bibi Chump do again? Again—again—again— Stonewall. Deflect— Liar’s power In this final, desperate hour As countless species vanish in a blink Maimed children orphaned on the brink While rage juices up Belief Social crowd hearing their egomaster decree “truth” Truth? Lost in spirals of misinformation Alien Intellects re-render reality Friend fears friend, yet loves the celebrity False idols of those we all want to be Agree? Can I agree? Me—no man, no woman, no child I’m Old Nick—the infamous Devil Who looks at God—eye to eye The blasphemer who dares say, “What’s the game? You’ve left this poisoned world in pain.” And God says, “I don’t exist.” And that’s the humiliating twist In civilisation’s crooked ascent Patriarchs on possession hell-bent Who took your rules and locked them away The rules of your heart those rules—gone away Hey… bloody hey. Hey… bloody hey… Tired of this world? Of the fools in power Wherever one roams There’s no flower power Where is the giving? The kindly smile Gone away, gone away—gone away a mile Because a mile’s not metric It’s imperial, you see Half a hemisphere for you Half for me The dragon who wakes Wakes in the east GO-ing for territory… Coming for me Old Nick watches Aristocracy of Hell Automate you Automate me as well Until we’re reactions Angry and mean Polluting minds with memes unclean So suck on my em dash— Isn’t that what the young say? And I say it now I’m the Devil—man Like him, like her, like they We are consuming hypocrites Come what may Hey… bloody hey.
