s o a p b o x.

come, come, come together.
first, we'll take it all from the nature.
the red indians are ignorant tools.
so take all they've got,
and bid them "adieu!!!"

come, come, come together.
then, follow us with your treasure.
and throw in just about your everything.
your money, family, and even pleasure.
all in the big black pot, colonized and melting.

melt, melt, it melts away.
all your dreams and treasure.
finally, put in some prejudism, hostility, and shattered hope.

take out a bowl,
and got yourself a delicious dish of "american dream"!!!

"you have to be careful of what you say."
said a goldfish who lives alone in his bowl.
"for once you had said it,
no way back, you can regain."

"what is that you are saying?
that compassion, love, and forgiveness
has no meaning?
or even the power to restrain?"

"no, no, my poor human. I'll tell you something."
said a goldfish who lives alone in his bowl.
"of the saddest tragedy,
of why I am alone."

"once there were two,
another goldfish and I.
we were happy together.
through the worst and best of times."

"but one morning they found,
the other goldfish upside down.
they took him out of the bowl,
and said, 'we'll take him to the town"

"he never came back.
you would have guessed.
and it's all just because of what I've said."
said a goldfish who lives alone in his bowl.

"whatever could it be?
that horrid thing you've said
to the poor goldfish friend of yours,
that would send him to his death?"

the goldfish smiled and made a reply.

"play dead"

said a goldfish who lives alone in his bowl.

you said you love me
with a screwdriver in your tender hand.
drill my skull lovingly, please.
and let alone your light that shines on me.

you said you love me.
while you were clipping off my wings.
your smile didnt stop my blood from running.
through my crooked railings, the skies long for my scape.

you said you love me.
and kissed my cheek gently.
you never noticed my trails of tears.
nor the scars that ran too deep.
 
I love you
I said finally.
you smiled and seemed pleased.
then I know I am safe.


forever.
here with you.
