Ain’t it all a joke


from the ABC set PERFORMANCE POEMS

(Performance Poem)

Inside departments
In smaller compartments
Without expectations
Limited imaginations
Ain’t it all a joke
Ain’t it all a joke

Outside society
Or crushed in normality
Without significance
Not even a dissident
Ain’t it all a joke
Ain’t it all a joke

Sent in directions
Distorting perceptions
Blind to all elegance
The rape of intelligence
Ain’t it all a joke
Ain’t it all a joke

Dreams and ambition
Reduced to submission
I’m talking essential
Human potential
A sick kind of joke
A sick kind of joke
