The Hollow Beat
Father God, some days my heart
Is like the world dancing to the the beat
The hollow beat of pampered hearts
The loud beat of folded ears.
Deaf to all the cries of the distressed.
Oh Father, the shallowness of this people
Hollowed out minds in a death dance.
Hearing meaning only as a dream.
Hearing dream beyond all meaning.
There themes are human love.
Man towards woman - the glamor
The cold insensititve glamor.
Of tight alluring skirted pop singers.
Singing of sorrows that are souless.
Man and woman under the beat.
The beat of cold idols, blunted
Burning in the lust of worship.
The beat too loud for compassion
The tears too plastic for comfort.
The sufferer sings from yaughts and pools
Platinum Guitar; all is comedy, the beat
The death beat.
