More Than Us - Haujobb

She wasn’t just pretty

I could see that something else was there

Between those painted toes and shiny things in her hair

She was more than that

When I fell asleep

Her multiple arms held me firm

And I knew there was no escape

From that embrace

She is more than us

She showed me wonders

I could never have imagined

Worlds I couldn’t have dreamed: truth, no less

She is: atomic petrochemical genocidal bad news

She is: consumer oriented globalized and inhuman

She is: her name is hidden under layers of layers and pseudonyms

But I know her well

Dance

Sing

I sleep like a baby

In her many arms

While she strides across the battlefield

Dancing, singing, feeding
