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.
