What Do We Do Now

One gigantic beached whale Desiccates on the neighbor’s curb
Guess they threw her away -
Could’ve waited ’til garbage day
What do we do now - If only we were Inuit
What do we do now
You can bet the HOA will hear about this

Inconveniences abound - The world is our oyster
And we can shuck off all we want
And oh, how we want to want

An abandoned high-rise - Toppled over in the dead of night
Now it rests horizontal - On a low income neighborhood
What do we do now Could it be repurposed
What do we do now
Maybe field some offers for a dollar store

If comedy is tragedy - It’s funny to think of
The billions of people in need
While we put up our feet

What do we do now - Light a match to this world
What do we do now
If someone could dismantle This kleptocracy

The checks and balances are off; The checks were elastic
Imbalances drafted the map We see-sawed with fat cats

What do we do now Light a match to this world
Dismantle me, oh god, oh please
