Whitewash

Plant a hanging basket

On the homeless

Paint every scrawled on

Bench and seat

Sow creeping ivy

Into burnt out cars

Let's pretty up the street

String fairy lights

Across poor housing

Whitewash each graffiti'ed wall

Plant a tree perhaps a thousand

Screening miles of urban sprawl

Drag em in and dry um out

Cure the symptom blank the cause

Take away all consequence

Slackening the laws

Close are eyes to actuality

Hurl wealth and wreckage into space

And as the stars begin to dim

Let's lazer up the place

Spraying contaminated sunrise

Dodging radiation in a suit

If the oceans glow their warning

Give up fish and eat mutated fruit

Reinvent the molecule

Shepard in shiny-shoes

It's only a matter of time

Before we pay the final dues

Lets speed up evolution

Replace clean air by the can

No longer being answerable

For the deeds of contemporary man

As the planet submits to summon

At the hands and wills of sightless eyes

We'll watch behind vast sceenic screens

As we disintegrate the skies
