Dogs Vs Insects

blood ridden cesspool in disguise 
of a heartfilled warm american surprise
divided we fall lets take the dive
together we stand so run and hide
better off dead than alive
filthy redneck hick american pride
do these yuppies fall short
pockets deep hands at their side
nodding yes taking stride
I'm unimpressed lets please revive
the simple nature of what has climbed
the first impression the start of time
the rumbling banging crash of life
millions of molecules at once collide
forming planets creating the great divide
the spreading from single into unsized
an unmatched fury of no deny
the birthing of suns the breath of life
the wind in our hair the crash of the tides
the salt in our bodies which comes from our seas
the mixing and making of health and disease
our pleasure disgust and our filthy needs
everyone is everything we all can bleed
in mind is only where this time can survive
the counting of seconds till body must die
the worry and hesitance of staying alive
the meandering malleable life giving vibe
the peak of the rush the top of the high
the exit the entrance the crack in the slide
where most of us couldn't begin to contrive
blending and hiding disguising ones ride
secluding receding no need to decide
no giving no loving no joy insight
painfully awake climb back inside
claw deeper and further farther from light
enter your darkness become your fright
live as your evil give into the fight
be what you are no matter whats right
its dogs versus insects be ready to bite
