Here's a prayer to the freaks, the geeks and the outcasts
You diamond pariahs, and unwashed gems
You who've earned a lifetime of scars
And learned to wear adolescence as your albatross
...
This isn't your world
That isn't your sky to pollute
Under chimney stacks of Cancer clouds
...
365 days in a year
24 hours in a day
60 minutes in an hour
60 second in a minute
...
Marx was partially right
Religion is the opium of the people
but
...
Cruising on midnight
I saw fire in the sky
Then a spaceship landed
Like a chromium pie
...
You could feed the worlds poor,
or fight the cancer war
Slap the iron rule of tyrants
And give the back hand to fascists
...
A bumblebee hopped
On a foxglove crop
Until pollen dropped
...
You've growing antiseptic
to the housebound scene
Now you want a warranty
For a shelf life quarantine
...
You find them on curbs
And crewcut turfs
Their Squat, placid bodies
Hallowed with punctual geometry,
...
