A Car Needs Repair

by

Chris Lahren

A car needs
repair...the fuckin' mechanic tells me the catalytic converter needs
replacement. I think we should replace him and our whole fucking system of
making us spend money...oh well, that's the price of our
"republic"...demokratia, as the greeks would have laughed at our ways. We
are not a democracy as we claim...more like
democrisy...hipocrisy...hippocrates.

This is our filthy cavern of baggage,
crumbling beneath our feet. Budgets...battles, while we spend overseas for
further dying interests, seems the Greeks did much the same...before the
fall. But as all this continues, something spoils in the meantime...our
inner fabric becomes discolored and hollow...murder is just another word.
Seems Camus should have been here today to live out his dreams...but it's
just another tragedy...like we see on the news each day. I think we should
ostracize the entire House of "Representatives" and the rest of
them...somewhere where they can resonate...hollow words...perhaps Eliot's
Wasteland.
