Despair

Darkness and misery, like two little birdies
 Flying and fluttering 'round my head
 Flapping their wings like relentless anguish
 Swinging sweet tweety songs of despair and futility
 Flitting around and around and around and around and around and around
 Flitting around and around and around and around and around and around
 Frightening some of the children and enticing other little children
 With false promises of hopeless hope
 Flitting around and around and around and around and around and around
 Flitting around and around and around and around and around and around
 Look at the children smiling
 Look at the children smiling
 Look at the children smiling and laughing, telling happy stories
 Of Santa Claus and democracy and "Jesus loves you"
 The birds are beautiful with sunshine songs of death
 On a magical early morning sunrise of happy apathy
 Flitting around and around and around and around and around and around
 Flitting around and around and around and around and around and around...
 (variations on "Flitting around and around..." ad nauseam)
