Sign O' The Times

The parking stalls were grave plots
and the cars were the grave stones
Their leather interior
...fancy coffins people paid thousands of dollars for.
When are they going to realize,
it’s just a simple box to decompose in?
These mile long parking lots
are cemeteries for the living dead.
The new cave dwellers
who live in their cubicles
painting their walls with corporate logos
and employee of the month awards.
Neanderthal man did this with his tales of great hunt.
He became one with what he destroyed,
for he knew if he did not destroy it,
would surely destroy him.
But now they paint with meaningless pieces of plastic and paper,
this has become their great hunt,
this has become their instinctual birth right.
This new species of man has never known
kill or be killed
just promotion or no promotion.
If man could have only fathomed
what his role would entail
in this brave new world
it begs the question…
would he have even bothered to evolve?
