In the heat
\nThe forgetfulness
\nNow Our concern
\nWe suffer in silence
\nAs our feet burn
\nCarelessness everywhere
\nAsphalt and stone
\nVehicular violence
\nFor we are alone<\/p>\n
In touch with the surface
\nThe vibrations too
\nSo many oblivious
\nTo what we all do
\nHauling their carriage
\nTheir body weight
\nOn our tired legs
\nAn unruly gait<\/p>\n
The heat and our hooves
\nThe soul and the beat
\nDistraction and diversions
\nNothing is sweet
\nNot any more
\nFewer people that care
\nAll they want out of life
\nIs just to get there<\/p>\n
In our feed
\nGlyphosate
\nIt weakens us so
\nIt\u2019s used as a desiccant
\nThat much we know
\nBut it weakens our legs
\nAnd it frightens us too
\nWhat man does to man
\nAnd in fact does to you<\/p>\n
In our sensitive lives
\nIn the Chicago heat
\nDragging much fatter bodies
\nThe so called elite
\nFrom Delaware Place
\nTo the North Lake shore
\nTo dinner to all sorts of places
\nAnd more<\/p>\n
We do feel uncared for
\nIntended and we
\nDo feel unloved
\nUnprotected we be
\nWe compete with the traffic
\nSo much unconcern
\nAnd on top of all that
\nMany now burn<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hot
\nAnd it\u2019s smelly
\nInsanity flies
\nIn the face of the sensitive
\nAnd the surprise
\nSo many humans
\nAre apparently
\nStuffed up on goodness knows what actually<\/p>\n
We collapse in the end
\nJust fall down and die
\nNobody cares
\nAnd now you know why<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
