    im not really working
    because im broke
    i wake up overcome by thorns in my side
    i wear cold amethyst and surrender
    to the fact that you're always working
    we could have risen on beds of cedar
    like lecherous mycelium and roots embracing
    instead you feed the meter
    that keeps you in the race
    you pour concrete fast, a rapidly aged spirit slave
    drive ninety
    if you make it that far
    risking it all for another's bullshit existence
    wasting the earth for the sake of some fucking satanic texan
    and get paid in insults
    instead of my love
    given from within a formless grace
    instead of your cube
    that your constantly typing numbers inside of, against all common sense of decency for the old growth
    id rather clear cut the hearts of greedy men than lose
    dreams of entranced birds painting themselves anew
    the same paint the amethyst makes us too
    owls blinking and mice that flew
    drove me alike to you
    caught in your trap
    you wake without me
    on cold mornings
    and i hunt without a goal
    amy you lost me at hello
    instead of a long goodbye
    ahead of the game, i knew it didnt matter
    im only going about eleven

    :eek:

    'Tis good.

    One suggestion, though-the line with "some fucking satanic texan" kind of offsets the rhythm for me. You might try wording that different. But otherwise, I loves it. :)

    all of the lines throw off the rhythm for me

    work on that :)

    I find nothing wrong with it,

    in fact I dig it.
    F'ing satanic texan, nothing wrong with that, couldnt have put it better meself.
    I like where you said youd rather cut down the hopes, aspirations, dreams
    of the greedy Fcks than see one ounce of nature hurt.

    Keep on keeping on,

    the fog crept into humboldt county
    enshrouding all the ganja
    hiding it from the prying eyes flying over
    and we rejoice
    we toil endlessly, picking, trimming, packing
    smelling, smoking, wandering lost in our minds
    for what?
    for three thousand dollars a pound?
    for financial security?
    for the love and admiration of young stoners?

    it is futile
    growing this plant or any other
    the world will end in milliseconds
    i give up on your love
    the taste that sold me was better than the meal
