John Watts Money And Power
THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE TAKEN A HEAVY TOLL. I SPIT TWICE AND STARE AT THE PORCELAIN BOWL. I WAS WOKEN UP THIS MORNING BY THE RADIO ALARM AND FOUND THAT I HAD LOST THE CIRCULATION IN MY ARM. THE NEIGHBOURS' GIRLS PLAY CHOPSTICKS THROUGH THE WALL. NO CHANCE WHAT CHANCE HAVE I? TO CHANGE THINGS WHY SHOULD I TRY? IT'S DANGEROUS IT'S TURNING S0UR. WHAT EVERYONE WANTS IS MONEY AND POWER. WHAT EVERYONE WANTS IS MONEY AND POWER. A DEMONSTRATION A QUARTER OF A MILLION STRONG. I RUB MY EYES I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE GONE. I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR I THINK I'VE GOT A CHILL I'LL GO DOWN TO THE SURGERY NOT FEELING VERY WELL. THE NATIONAL NEWS STILL MANAGED TO PLAY IT DOWN. NO CHANCE I HEAR THE DOOR AND REACH OUT TO FIND A TOWEL I HAVE TO GO THERE'S NOBODY ELSE AROUND. I STAND THERE IN THE DOORWAY I KNOW I DON'T LOOK GOOD IT'S ONLY MEN DELIVERING ANOTHER LOAD OF WOOD OUR LEADER STILL WANTS BLOOD IN HER FINEST HOUR. NO CHANCE WHAT EVERYONE WANTS IS MONEY AND POWER.
