it's a barbie world.
with the atom bomb.
the toilet is scrubbed.
as auschwitz rumbles.

it's a barbie world.
midst severance of cityscape.
midst seclusion from cityscape.
midst isolation of cityscape.

it's a barbie world.
as crimes are left unsaid
as unsaid crimes ripple hush.
as the hostile takeover threatens to take hold.
as the pipeline explodes.

to the hitmen. to the maestro. to the teachers. to the heron.
to the dreamers. to the theatre. to the dealers. to the darers.
to the rebels. to the lovers. to the cleaners. to the cowboys.
together, forever, apart... why is it what it is?
2023.
