Dinosauria, We

Born like thisInto thisAs the chalk faces smileAs Mrs. Death laughsAs the elevators breakAs political landscapes dissolveAs the supermarket bag boy holds a college degreeAs the oily fish spit out their oily preyAs the sun is maskedWe are

Born like thisInto this

Into these carefully mad warsInto the sight of broken factory windows of emptinessInto bars where people no longer speak to each otherInto fist fights that end as shootings and knifingsBorn into thisInto hospitals which are so expensive that it's cheaper to dieInto lawyers who charge so much it's cheaper to plead guiltyInto a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closedInto a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroesBorn into thisWalking and living through thisDying because of thisMuted because of thisCastrated

DebauchedDisinheritedBecause of thisFooled by thisUsed by thisPissed on by thisMade crazy and sick by thisMade violentMade inhumanBy this

The heart is blackenedThe fingers reach for the throatThe gunThe knifeThe bombThe fingers reach toward an unresponsive godThe fingers reach for the bottleThe pillThe powderWe are born into this sorrowful deadliness

We are born into a government 60 years in debtThat soon will be unable to even pay the interest on that debtAnd the banks will burnMoney will be uselessThere will be open and unpunished murder in the streetsIt will be guns and roving mobsLand will be uselessFood will become a diminishing returnNuclear power will be taken over by the manyExplosions will continually shake the earth

Radiated robot men will stalk each otherThe rich and the chosen will watch from space platforms

Dante's Inferno will be made to look like a children's playgroundThe sun will not be seen and it will always be nightTrees will dieAll vegetation will dieRadiated men will eat the flesh of radiated menThe sea will be poisonedThe lakes and rivers will vanishRain will be the new goldThe rotting bodies of men and animals will stink in the dark windThe last few survivors will be overtaken by new and hideous diseasesAnd the space platforms will be destroyed by attritionThe petering out of suppliesThe natural effect of general decayAnd there will be the most beautiful silence never heard

Born out of that.The sun still hidden thereAwaiting the next chapter.

Dinosaurija, mi (cela pesma)

rođeni ovako

u ovo

dok se lica od krede smeškaju 

dok se g đa Smrt smeje

dok se liftovi kvare

dok se politički pejsaži rastaču

dok paker u samoposluzi ima diplomu koledža dok naftne ribe bljuju svoj naftni plen

dok je sunce maskirano

mi smo

rođeni ovako

u ovo

 za te promišljeno ludačke ratove

 za prizore razbijenih fabričkih prozorapraznine

 za barove gde ljudi ne govore više 

 jedni sa drugima

 za ulične tuče koje se okončavaju

nožem i pištoljem 

rođeni u ovo

 za bolnice toliko skupe da je

 jeftinije umreti

 za advokate koji toliko naplaćuju da je

 jeftinije priznati

u zemlji gde su zatvori puni a ludnice zatvorene

na mestu gde mase od budala stvaraju

bogate heroje

rođeni u ovo

hodamo i živimo kroz ovo 

umiremo zbog toga

onemeli zbog toga

kastrirani

izopačeni

razbaštinjeni 

 zbog toga

prevareni time

iskorišćeni time

popišani time 

sluđeni i zgađeni od toga

učinjeni nasilnim

i nečovečnim

 time.

srce je pocrnelo

prsti se pružaju ka grlu 

pištolj 

nož  

bomba

prsti se pružaju ka bogu koji ne odgovara 

prsti se pružaju ka boci 

 tableti

prahu.

rođeni smo u ovo čemerno mrtvilo

rođeni smo u državi koja je 60 godina u dugu 

koja će uskoro biti nesposobna da platikamate na to

i banke će goreti

novac će biti beskoristan

 zavladaće otvoreno i nekažnjeno 

ubistvo na ulicama

oružje i lutajuće bande

 zemlja će biti beskorisna

hrane će biti sve manjenuklearnu moć će preuzeti mnogi

eksplozije će neprestano potresati zemlju

ozračeni roboti će vrebati jedni druge

bogati i izabrani će gledati sa

svemirskih platformi

Danteov Pakao izgledaće kao deč je igralište 

sunce se neće videti i stalno će biti noć 

drveće će umreti

sve bilje će umreti

ozračeni ljudi ješće meso ozračenih ljudi

more će biti zatrovano

nestaće jezera i reke

kiša će biti novo zlato

istrulela tela ljudi i životinja smrdeće u mračnom vetru

poslednji preživeli umreće od novih i užasnih bolesti 

a svemirske platforme biće uništene trenjem 

presahlim zalihama

prirodnom posledicom sveopšteg rasula 

i najdivnija tišina kakva se nikada nije čula

rodiće se iz toga

dok se sunce i dalje krije tamo

i čeka sledeće poglavlje.
