Allusions to elude

No one will remember
None could forget.
Corporations and government
Outtakes and shipwrecks
Baby bottles and Nyquil
This oil spill… too complex?
No thanks to BP,
No help from the GOV
In fact, should there be?
-Parties made of tea cups
-“Moral” degradation
-Standing with the right
-Standing with the left
First flights, first fancy, foul fake ornament
Looks good from the outside,
But inside descent
Too big the great divide
When will it all collide?
Mesh into one
Undo what we have done
Will no one return?
Will no one learn?

The card you were dealt was paper mache
Made out of wet and dry and grey
Old wrinkled newspaper never once read
Those stories, those lives, left for dead.
