Its now becoming obvious
to everyone
that we
are being doused in chemical baths
throughout eternity
women get
their fair share
with shampoo’s eye shadow’s
hair spray
lipsticks and nail varnish
and fake tan
everyday
the chemist shop
and to beyond
through nano tech, and GM
deodorants and blushers
what should have been a gem
sparkling on the dance floor
foundations, and perfumes too
body lotions all have
bad ingredients
and who
in their right mind
would buy them
well everybody does
half don’t understand the words
and half enjoy the buzz
the starlets on the telly
who tell us all to use
whatever brand
we’ve bought into
the fact that they abuse
our bodies till we’re threatened
frightened
with no where to go
but use them
and expect a rash
or a vile tumour to grow
knowing they have been squirted
in a dozen rabbits eyes
or up the arse of a monkey
or some dog got a surprise
this is what the corporates
do
to the earthlings without voice
test the chemical products
and they also get no choice
and most of them get slaughtered
their brains picked over by
the white coats with their
massive brains
who’ve forgotten how to cry
