HOW IT IS
from Desert of Tears
One man, one woman?
Whose idea was that anyway?
And what's the point?
Disease? Confusion?
Like we live in a disease-free world now,
or one that's completely understandable.
In a pig's eye.
We may live longer
but our lives are filled with meaninglessness.
A real life would be brimming over
with danger and risk
instead of all this precaution
and sanitary napkins.
Yes, it would be shorter in all likelihood
but what it lacked in quantity
it would more than make up for in quality.
We'd live every waking moment,
fully aware of what we were doing
and why we were doing it.
We'd take the women we wanted
and kill anyone who got in our way
or be killed ourselves for trying.
58And the babies born
of all this heartless fucking
would be the offspring of either the strongest
or the most cunning
so that eventually we'd have
a world filled with strong or cunning people
but more likely cunning
because the crafty seem always
to have a way of putting it over
on the brutish
and that world of cunning men and women
would figure out ways
to do all sorts of things
like make powerful medicines
for body and soul
or machines that could go up in the air
all the way around the Earth
even take us to the moon and back.
They'd make it kind of like it is now
hell, maybe even exactly like it is now.
