Antelope from Back Home by Geo-Joe

Antelope

Oh country road
taking me home
to a place I despise
as much as I adore.
It’s a firm compromise
where the wild buffalo
no longer roam,
and the antelope
hold nine-to-fives
and mistreat their wives
while they fight for their lives.
Sharpen your knives.

No, this land
is not our land
but some grim legacy
of broken promises
and hidden tragedies.
Eagles watch their shadows
where the mice multiply,
and the antelope
hold nine-to-fives,
and they mistreat their wives
while they fight for their lives.
Sharpen your knives.

Love is a condition of rage. This country
is a family of lies.
Sit back and enjoy the waste. Ideas
clash under cloudy skies.

The heart of this nation is greed. Damnation,
our original sin.
Idiots that we’re choosing between. Self interests
we are voting against.
