Now & Again

Give and take
Love and hate
Who's the fish?
Who's the bait?

Foolish and friendly
Or cruel and dumb
Shoot first, and then see:
Billionaire or bum?

Killing time is all we do
(And, sometimes, each other, too)
You say, "Hello", I say, "Fuck you"
You say, "Ok", and then we do

Transactions, interactions
Feed and let it breed
Make, market, sell, buy
Slaves of lust and greed

What's the time?
How much for this or that?
What is crime?
Contradiction with impact

Conspiracy with sleeper cells
Drones make contributions
Society, a convenient Hell
Drop-dead gorgeous executions
