Blasting Powder

Stuff it in
light the fuse
and nothing

No bang for your buck
no loud thunder crack
just silent and lonesome.

It’s not normal dynamite
it’s made for dreams
and hopes and thoughts.

It’s media, and booze
it’s a strong fear of death
it's toking on up
and smoking some more.

it’s doing as you’re supposed
it’s doing as you’re told
it’s doing what they did
everyone before.

It’s not making your own path
and sticking to it
it’s making a stubborn path
and sticking to it.

Yes this little blasting powder
is totally free
it won’t make a sound
no you won’t hear a thing
it leaves no burns or scars
that can be easily seen.

Explosives are exciting
so use it all up
blow all to smithereens
your freedom to think
to act, to say, to be
or not to be.

Take away your imagination
it only got in the way.
Destroy all your thoughts
you didn’t want to think those anyway.
Yes blow it all away
and just relax and smile.

Because bliss is ignorance
and thinking you're not.
