ask and you shall receive as the evangelist
states are the words of Christ ignored in our own day
are we obliged to pay anyone who asks for cash
take the homeless woman who sits on the sidewalk
as my own example of a poor art student
never aroused interest from administrators
tell me who really cares to cure world poverty
as a global disease where human parasites
live off the working class but not capitalists
in their own charity they receive incentives
zilch on paying taxes for their business ventures
in their own corruption of capitalist growth
never would they allow the poor to gain control
gain ownership privilege entitlements kickbacks
designed to destroy lives the human meat grinder
invites stupidity recklessness and foolish
simpleminded actions in our adolescence
praised by the spin of film and news journalism
let alone the ethics and criminal justice
as professors promote the unholy doctrine
yellow as their slouch spines to save the status quo
only a god can save our lost humanity
for decency goodness and honor oblige few
the entertainment world acts as an industry
honed like a Bowie knife for a fight at the sandbar
even historians write to preserve values
unknown to humankind is the meaning of life
no one could possibly understand its meaning
since words get in the way of hearing the silence
as for Samuel Beckett he kept mum a closed trap
in an invitation for others to seek out
determining factors why language is useless
