Poetry For The Plastic People Pt. 2 - Earth

A Plastic Person Consults Time

Earth:
You take our shit
And turn it
Into Gold

I have in my pockets
A pen,
Paper and glue
Passports
Guiding me through
Back to you
Where I’ll go
When I’m gone
Where I belong
Where I come from

A silent prayer
Within my soul
Somewhere inside
Away from all
A commune
Like in days of old:
If it all depends upon
The note you end it on
Earth, please
Take my shit
And turn it into gold

Poetry For The Plastic People

It's December, and I'm far away from my garden...time to catch up on some poems


Anti-Christ (New Page)


Re: the passing into susceptible obscurity
Of some slow slide down the knife
Sliced deep into the side of sleep

Hang on, hang on...Etymology, please.
Someone hand me a dictionary
For I remember a belt, my little red belt
With silver studs and aeroplanes
The very first gift that was given to me
To be whoever I turned out to be

And then suddenly
There came a cage
A gilded frame capturing all I felt,
Guilt and shame, chains to train my brain
To claim enjoyment, treat it as profane

ho ho ho
Have  you heard the rumour?
It’s so, so time to grow a sense of humour
For then they called ME antichrist
And dared to label ME insane

So, now it’s time to redress the damage
High time to reset the stage
How now to transform and direct
This exquisitely sublime rage
