Sometimes people hit rock bottom
otherwise known as nowhere else to go
maybe they bring a jackhammer
even if they try, they could never reach
the center of the earth
if they try to dig their way to China
maybe just proverbially
even if they try, they remain
stuck here in Chicago on the Red Line
perhaps we are all in this together
even an hallucination
otherwise known as the collective unconscious
perhaps if one person
lifts up another person, we all rise
equally above the fray into flow
humanity is strange, as we don't care
if others don't succeed
this may be a result of capital
results are not consequences
otherwise known as effects to actions
causes arise from intentions
kill or be killed, the social atmosphere
bless yourself and bless others on the path
otherwise known as the journey
to succeed, to help the most downtrodden
the failures of the world, New Yorkers step
over, but are we really so callous
maybe this is late capitalism
