What Do We Want

What do we do With the men and women Who don't fit in How do we forget them if Even the sea says No What do we do with humanity writhing Tied to Earth like a Fly held by the wing A dance that smashes limbs A desperate lump of living Fear We can't keep it here We can't eat it, can we What can we do It'll have to go if it can't get on Ground hard into greed's grimace By the dark wishes of lost or distracted loves The deficit after subtraction of Exaggerated reactions Miscalculated once and Magnified by time Told by stones that Stand on bones Crushed to dust Give it to us Give us what? A paper slice of peace to set alight? Give us what? At the top of the clouds of having, Over the moon and Stars and After and beyond, then Give us what? What are we trying to have? Is the sun a celestial disco ball? Give us what? Is the naked fall's embrace the Blanket of our wasted Souls, give us what? Frowning till the Clouds surround the voice, "Dawn is smothered" What do we want If we don't want one-another? Chips and oxygen? Drink? Countless fortunes in fodder passed my lips, I've tried! What do I get if I can't get This? A cursory kindness recognised and I Call the man my brother, I mean, What do we want, If we don't want one-another? I ask the glass, I ask the day, the moon, It doesn't shudder Tell me again about Blowing them out Of the sea What do they cost, and What have we got, and What does it mean for Me Do what you can, but a Heart is a heart, and a Man is a man, and anyway I haven't any better way Than what you see I'm here to learn Don't be shy Tell me why, and Tell me, Tell me what we're trying To achieve
