Another day in Wonderland
An army of dead soldiers
Standing in defense of being alive
Kill a dead soldier
He’ll be put together again
Set up to stand once more
Oysters stuck to the floor of the casino,
Locked in manufactured dreams
Force the oysters to feel
For the Queen of Hearts to drink
What She wants to feel
“It takes a thousand thrills to make
One drop of happiness,”
He whispers to Her. “So,
Can I interest you in lust?
Or greed?
They’re much easier to come by.”
The citizens stare onward
Waiting to see who they should cheer for,
Not knowing without the cup at their lips
Whether to cheer at all
What does the stock market say?
If hope is going up, we should hope.
