You do not eat, you do not sleep,
Anymore, yellow creep.
You giant pill, you bloodless daffodil, not another peep.
Armies of android smooth–
I feel your harsh gloat.
Shadow porous as Playdoh
And longer than a U-boat.
With toothless mouths and T-bone tongues,
You infect my body till I become unstrung.
My cells expand, I am jaundiced and weak
I took you in, you ungrateful freak.
O’ Koolaid of Konsumerism,
You are melting to my throat
A slick coating of plastic
With no known antidote.
I know the taste of this toxic sweetness
All this pain and I’ll have to be a Beatnik.
I plumb my gullet with the tips of my nails
But you’ll never leave me till I’ve got bloody trails.
Maybe the answer is to drink more of your syrup
So I dose you and drink you in a medicine cup.
I’m drinking the Koolaid that America made
And it turns in my stomach like a yellow grenade.
