The Last Communique Of The Ultra-Apathetic Party

the world is in chaos

tribal wars
civil wars
espionage
provacateurs

these lines could have been written
on any day since man invented writing

a played out aspect
of the human condition
touching most lives
lighter than a free falling feather

any wonder so many tune out

you may call this denial
but, no, we are not denying
just ignoring
(now don't go on blathering about the connection
between ignor and ignorance,
or we'll never get out of here!)

we advise all those who dwell on these matters
to remove themselves to a sunny, secluded spot
squat on the grass
and enjoy the mighty duration

think about lovely things
sing happy songs
make love
if only to your own lonesome self

it is your choice

it is ours
and we have made our peace
