Make the World Yours

Tripping on Ginkgo Biloba

Words by Bryon Bowers

Tripping on Ginkgo Biloba Watching a wave of indecision Smash down A world where work smothers us While our children yearn for one more minute One more ounce of childhood by the pool One more game of hide and seek We pulled back to the chains of capitalism The next generation recognizing all the problems of the world deciding not to replicate complicate Easiest path taken To the end of the yellow road No ruby red slippers at the end Just the cold embrace of death But in between there’s more have them It's hard I know But in the great words Of the dazed and confused poet “keep living” And in the great words he found on the floor of a frathouse “I will persist until I succeed.” “I will greet this day with love in my heart.” “I will laugh at the world.” “Today I begin a new life.” Sometimes the day is long The work is grueling And your boss isn't paying you jack shit to meet the rent Bide your time Eat a Ramen Your time is coming You disenfranchised You generation of Apathy and Discontent The “every politician is corrupt” reason is no longer valid Donald Trump has set the bar so low That the pool of people more moral and good for our country has increased exponentially Get the fuck out there Vote the fascists out Build your dream Build it from your passions From your family From the love that wells inside of you Not from a God Or from a false Cheeto orange fascist blow hard small dick chaos agent hell bent on world destruction You are the future of humanity Make your own world Minecraft Style Even if your parents struggled in a world with you They can’t imagine a world without you… You are loved You are Potential and Perseverance Turned into Power and Change Don't let that powerful love go to waste Go forth, make the world yours!
