what's after the afterlife?

One of these days
science will prove
there IS an afterlife!
Won't we be relieved?

The devout will preen
Maybe even strut
(though half of them
never really believed)

The next year will find
folks chucking body and mind
Nothing will staunch the tide
of grateful suicide

But don't fall for the ruse!
I'm here to tell youse
it'll all be a billionaire plot
Our beaches are overrun
Our rivers gunked and done
And you can't find a parking spot
The tycoons are tired
The Earth is getting mired
in shit, piss, trash, and snot

So heaven will be a ploy
with a planet-purging goal
Government-gerrymandered
moron population control

And if you live for life after death
(despite not one shred of fact)
Bide your time and wait for
an act of GOD before you react!

dyadnauseum

The dyad is dying
Say goodbye, cheer the news
a cesspool cessation of codependent miscues

The dyad is dying
One lover, and no more?
My hormones are anguished, my mind doth snore!

The dyad is dying
TWO parents are all i get?
But this one's a bully, and that one's all wet!

The dyad is dying
Hear the cheers, behold the raves
Wimyn shall no more be sex & food slaves

Double standards, domestic abuse
Deadbeat dads? Don't be obtuse!
She does the work, he gets to play?
Isn't it time she had her say?
Isn't jealousy just so tiring?
Possessive exploitation at long last expiring

The dyad is dying
Good riddance, begone!
To polyer pastures we're moving on...

blue

I can break you down
I can make you cry
I can put you in a funk
so blue
I only have to ask
how much you own your life
and how much your life
owns you

caps

Why do the madcaps
get all the notoriety?
It doesn't feel fair
to our myriad millenery
Maybe you're a gladcap
Ever ready with a smile
Happy to give a hand
Uncomplaining all the while
Maybe you're a badcap
Dangerous and charming
Does anyone else here
find charming folk alarming?
Maybe you're a radcap
Never doing what you're told
Unpredictable, unrestrictable
Reckless and bold
Maybe you're a sadcap
Have you been "diagnosed"?
Though i find happy people
more unsettling than most
Maybe you're a fadcap
Following along
Let's get tattooed or pierced
while we sing a top 40 song
Maybe you're a hadcap
living in poverty
More and more each day
in this sea of inhumynity
Of course, if you're a madcap
there's no shame in that
In fact, in this nutty world
being mad is where it's at

insanity

I've looked into insanity's eyes
Insanity wants to fuck!
Insanity is a collapsing prison
with rioting inmates amok

Insanity destroys what it loves
and loves what it destroys
Insanity cannibalizes itself
We are insanity's toys

Illusive and elusive
I can't be any clearer
Insanity is why i'm afraid
to look into the mirror
