Holding Pattern

Concrete and asbestos
Cell phone and new clothes
Flat screen and new shows

Raw data mining
While I’m here pining
For a silver lining

If sleep is a taste of death,
We suffer shortness of breath
Modern living in 12 easy steps

The more we know, the less we learn
Move over pilot, it’s my turn
What does it even matter?
Stuck in a holding pattern

Here comes the greenhouse surge
Ozone waste and ocean purge
To fly straight through, the urge

Padded chairs with lumbar support
Carpal tunnel with tech support
Breathing in on life support

Behind the liposuction
Plastic reconstruction
It’s just creation and destruction

The more we know, the less we learn
Move over pilot, it’s my turn
What does it even matter?
Stuck in a holding pattern

Now we wonder through the tundra
The world, rent asunder
Listening to the endless thunder

Only my boy and I on the road
Shopping cart with our precious load
My heart is ready to explode

Endless rain, nowhere to go
Get to the South before the snow
Past a plane crashed long ago

The more we know, the less we learn
Move over pilot, it’s my turn
What does it even matter?
Stuck in a holding pattern
