Guayana Punch - Jonestown + 30 years

for some
the grass
is
always greener
with someone
else
taking care of
everything,
everybody ...

thinking optional
discouraged
go along,
get along
a whole
nother meaning
or is it really?

same ol
same ol
another day
another Jones

the jungle green
until it ran black
with blood-flecked foam
of cyanide-laced
baby's
soft lips
and then
it wasn't
very green
anymore

and did they
then
reincarnate
to higher
lower or
nothing at all?

enlightenment
a relative term
what does it mean?
whatever
we
want
or
they say

freshen up
if not
pure
then
clean
take the wax
from your ears
for the coming
of
the savior
whatever
the form
this time

how will we know?

what would buddha do?
probably
nothing
at all
