What You Can Do (Or So They Said)


Time Passes

Time passes. Dilettanteism amasses On and on time marches until the mania surfaces Time foretold on canvasses Hopes melt on time made with molasses Even when no one's going to illegal stashes Indifference surpasses Stock market crashes Last word to the exit points of big fat asses According to the popularity of fetid gases Otherwise known as the choices of the masses Deceit, conceit confound the compasses Slick talk trashes Suggests no need for the school room classes Watch the counter as "they" "Alas!" us... Time passes.
