“FOUR CORNERS” 23 Aug 01

They canonise the dead
failing to add that, all through their lives
they never meant what they said
they were drunks and they lied

It’s always a tribute to an angel
that really bores
everyday we wake and toil
true heroes are ignored

Popstars are Gods
archeaologists artifacts
in thousands of years time
try to piece together our lives

Elvis was a God
McDonalds a church
Mickey Mouse and Bill Gates
were rulers of the world
