to spot a tempest in a teapot  
among the prosperous is easy  
you surely know what I must get at  
let's hope it doesn't make you queasy

the lucky devils that reside here  
the snakes enjoy the grass' splendor  
though claim the grass is always greener  
ignore the noise, return to sender

the horror of our idle pastimes  
self worship among navel gazers  
the thinking up of novel thought crimes  
proliferation of fundraisers

hell is not empty, nor is heaven  
both are in every one of us  
whether or not your bread does leaven  
enjoy the splendor of your grass
