What Hands 07:30
What hands Draw the lines Beside these once youthful eyes What hands Fold this face over itself And won’t let it go What hands Fill the bags beneath These once hopeful eyes What can These hands Do To hold them Not a thing Not a thing Such devastation as a life passes through The obscuration of the makings of you Someday this all will end Someday this all will end What hands Make gray What was once gold What hands Make this familiar sight Ever Unrecognizable What is this? Such devastation as a life passes through The obscuration of the makings of you What day will all this end?

Another open palm Destitute, asking alms And I walk by And the trash can preacher With a divine spiral, Screaming at an endless congregation And I walk by Another, quiet Swathed in plastic Suffering unseen company Where is his mind going Another’s earthen fingers chasing the lines On a tome of yellowed paper Who can see what he sees Through endless aisles Our midnight shoppers Rattle on and on to end the day Eating our trash beneath the freeway ceiling Laying upon a corrugated bed And here another hundred grand Driving slowly by the suffered And it makes no sense God It makes no sense If we all could see through Astrid’s eyes

Chance has spared you The life they’re bound to Supply chains 16 hour day 6 day week An unimaginable life See the cost of the price of all we consume Such brutality for fabricated needs Endless choice and the unseen behind it Endless choice means they’re denied it We keep it up, keep it up, keep it up What do you need? See the glut engulfing you And the bulwark that won’t let feeling through How many must suffer for the few, Seam by seam, screw by screw wasting, toiling for the new? Is it worth it? Are they worth it? Only chance has spared you The life they’re bound to
