Foods of Mass Destruction & A Loss of Identity

I never knew myself that well
even my shadow was evasive

AND

going back even further
to when I was being spoilt rotten
in my mother's womb

WELL

I still have trouble remembering who I was
I mean, I knew I was there
but as to my identity
I have no idea

The womb THOUGH
was such a wonderful place
and if someone could design
a fast food outlet based
on the perfection of the womb
I am sure it would be a huge success

AND
while I am talking
666 fast food outlets
LETS BOMB MACDONALDS
and STARBUCKS

AMEN and mines a mineral water
from the face of the planet

Love this Lenny!

Metaphysical poetry romps rampantly with Brit Pop. I know the mere use of the word bomb is distasteful to many people these days, but I say yeah, let's BOMB the fuckers! (when there's no-one there) cheers, Jess

for that Jess !!! I would honestly bomb McDonalds and Starbucks !!! They are a curse. and parents who "feed" their children at McD's need shooting. Starbucks, well, absolutely dire! Jess, I will work on a poem with that distasteful word in it..... Lenny
