Strangely Like a War
Mark Gunnery

Swimming in a swimming hole nThat used to be a quarry nWhere you could get a job pulling rocks out the ground nBut that's another story. nSitting in the shade with a friend back then nWhen we could spend a day nAway from the suburban developments nAnd the urban decay. nPeople moving out of the city nSprawl and they all want more room nThan they need my friend says to me nI think those trees are doomed. nnThey'll take everything they want from the earth nTill they can't take anymore nThen they'll split and make some money off it nIt's strangely like a war. nMoney is blood caked on a wall nA reminder of that moment nSuffering turned to value nAnd profit was made from pain. nnAnd they'll call it property nThe land gets bought and sold nTrading around the commons nLike a dump truck full of gold. nThey don't care about the birds there, nOr the plants and trees and bugs nThey don't care about the people nWho don't care to make them some bucks nI wish I could go back there nSwim with my friends and all nBut I can't go swim there n‘Cause they made it a shopping mall nnAnd they might call it development nBut it starts with destruction. nYou try to stop it feds get up in your shit nThat's just how their machine functions. nI wish I could go back there and nBreathe the wild air nI say enjoy the good old days right now nBecause it only gets worse from here. nMakes me want to go back in time. nMakes me want to go back in time.
