i grow older

1

i grow older radioactive wastes live 250 centuries
old pond a frog rises belly up
year ends another 96 billion lbs of hazardous waste
universe love it or leave it

2

after 'the day after' these are our leading minds?
build down my intelligence offended
balance of terror not how a kid spells peace
marine recruiter won't phone again

3

not against men in general just generals and
autumn nears a gun sale
full moon oh to hex the world back from them
we should have stayed seaweeds

4

farther & farther from the world still i hear the cries
homeland for women
if i were to paint goddess now her angry look
unable to change the world autumn begins
