some wear polyester
some wear polyester
really
simple people remain
straight and solid
like a yellow candle
never touched by flame
caring
not for the oppressed
not for the truth
only sweeping hallways
being thrifty
never donating hard earned dollars
or hours staring at a box
waiting politely in line upon line
really simple
people remain
after floods
quakes
and plagues
like dandelions on a breezy day
spreading tomorrow
crowding in clumps
planning
not for the roomless
not for the seedless
sweeping fields
never worried about
melting into blistered yellow flesh
dripping history
sitting in the same chair
eating cornflakes
really simple people
remain
thanx for stopping by
see you soon
