Born among the very first into a world of pop-culture,
the only world that ever existed
all was so peculiar and unique
I wanted to feel and touch all things
the name of the faire was Los Angeles, city that gave birth to me
First born
For first trials, applause, and broken hearts
The invention of all things electric and laser
It would have been the beginning of the end, had this not been
the first world ever to exist
I learned some dances, some songs, and made many friends
We watched movies, visited some places, and cruised the internet
We started to feel wired
So much to keep up with
Such crowded, distracted minds, order and technology
produced more chaos
We all committed suicide one afternoon
All of us then flew away with the wind
And ended up in a distant world we had never before seen
We looked at each other and no longer saw pink
and blue hair, or colored cheeks
we saw plain people wearing rags with unwashed punk hair
no one could speak
except one of us,
he became our divine leader
and told us that world was created and we were among
The first
of earth's people
We was a wise man who remembered.
