deserted cobbler's children
hung up by their bare feet
blood, dripping from their heads...
i hate art

we, stripped of our flesh
polymeres dripped in dead veins
bare, hardened monster of "art"

Stripped wires,
electrocuted balls, blood,

Why make time when no one pays a dime
To remunerate a rhyme over the ching chime
Ch-ch ch-ching chime

trains of thoughts may be lost in accidents
or arrive  with delay over too bumpy rails

that many ways lead
to any goal people are striving for
