Analysis of Crust
Robert Schultz 1964 (California)
We live on the crust of molted metal
A film upon a puddle
Are we here by luck
I don't really give a care.
I know as a human
I want to live
Stop all the fighting
It's time to give.
Do you like living
I know i do
We have to leave this crust
Or we are through
Work on a travel
With all of our bags
Get on our ship
Or we're all had
Leave all our negative
Our fears our doubts
Our whining our crying
Our doing without
