Toilet Water
More golden than a New York sunset skyline
More awing than the splendored midnight sky
Mightier than the armaments of war
Deadlier than disease and malady
No atom split can quite compare
to toilet waters poignant power
Let us ode to what we dare not smell
Christ of waters
Maelstrom of motherfuckers
Charybdis of forgiveness
Coriolis of the soulless
Toilet water wash our sins away
Without conscience, consciousness
man can’t tell the difference
between guilt and fear and shame
Thus man unpunished and remorseless
lives guiltless
not apt to offer reparation
for his ubiquitous destruction
This is how it’s always been
baptized by the many toilet waters
So Karma kiss my ass!
and Judgement Day
I illuminate
your absurd seduction
Let’s face
historically verifiable facts
Man’s offering to all that live
is suffering and death
