In the Place Where the Knife Had Been
Princess Mononoke:
When I came here last a few years back
This was a lovely little village
But... then there must have been a flood
Or a landslide, or a fire
The only sure thing is that everybody's dead
These days
There are angry ghosts all around us
Dead from wars
Sickness
Starvation
And nobody cares
So you say you're under a curse?
So what
So's the whole damn world
Put the pen
In the place
Where the knife had been
The ink bleeds through the bandages
We pour out
Until we pass out again
We get back up
And we extend our wrists again
Loss is all we've ever known
Another forest lost to feed tortured souls
Another ocean blackened-out
To create meaningless wealth
Fuck
Circle-back and see how it all began
Wealth is godliness the beginning to an ending
The pen drips
I'm pinioned
When facts are only opinions
These words will decay on their own
A temporary home
All I've ever known
Caught in a trap of abandonment
Stuck in impoverishment
Here's our only way to get ahold:
Do nothing that we're fucking told
Scars still run deep
But the solution exists
Being masked by a greedy government
I can't keep living my life like there's no future...
Stuck in this cycle of destructive behavior
Destruction is how the curse begins
And I've watched as it turns trees into coffins
The pallbearers of decline
Sit idly by
And I watch
As the casket
Lowers
