What Do We Do Now

One gigantic beached whale Desiccates on the neighbor’s curb

Guess they threw her away -

Could’ve waited ’til garbage day

What do we do now - If only we were Inuit

What do we do now

You can bet the HOA will hear about this

Inconveniences abound - The world is our oyster

And we can shuck off all we want

And oh, how we want to want

An abandoned high-rise - Toppled over in the dead of night

Now it rests horizontal - On a low income neighborhood

What do we do now

Could it be repurposed

What do we do now

Maybe field some offers for a dollar store

If comedy is tragedy - It’s funny to think of

The billions of people in need

While we put up our feet

What do we do now - Light a match to this world

What do we do now

If someone could dismantle This kleptocracy

The checks and balances are off; The checks were elastic

Imbalances drafted the map We see-sawed with fat cats

What do we do now Light a match to this world

Dismantle me, oh god, oh please
