The Destruction Emblem
April 6, 2009
The racecar sped away
Slowed down next to us
But was still a blur
The driver raised his hand
Sporting a watch worth 600 dollars
Frayed nylon swayed with his wrist
The goodyear emblem covered his face
Stitched into his soul
I couldn’t sense him through the advertisements
Name’s Coca Cola Nike
That’s all I heard
Through the tornado of icons
That cloudy the air
Formed a web of the 21st century
Label, label, label
Smog’s providers and your destination
The racear sped away
It crashed
Took your life and mine
At the price of a Coke Zero
