poem #500

[nouronion]

Point drops in
Sneek the baby away
If you blow on the dandeline
You can make a wish
For world peace?
Only wish that can't come true
Better off wishing
The sky turn green
Guitar pick in pocket
Pays for food
Under America
We are such spoiled bastards
I breath in pollen
Sneeze out words
Under the august moon
And light my candle
So I can burn it out again.

k well ive read it several times but i still dont get it.... thats ok tho cuz it has to have a purpose and meaning to u ... and thats all that maters....u no?

[Major Peacenik]

love it... there's a lot to it.

- critique of america's economic and environmental policies (green sky, reminds me of cash... spoiled bastards)

- lamentation of the loss of innocence (sneaking the baby away, blowing on dandelions)

- the last two lines... candle, symbolizing natural resources... in this case renewable... are you speaking of hope? love? or are you saying that we've got enough resources now, but we're using up our chances? maybe both are true?

this probably isn't exactly what you meant, but it's what I saw... anything I missed?
