so now what

so now
what
heroes
killers
hookers and saints
so now what
politicians
doctors
corperations
priests
so now what
presidents
dictators
fundamentalists
freaks
so now what
the how and when have arrived
the how and when have passed
the this and that have shown their sides
nothing seems to last
what is new
myself's
grown old
my guitar leaves my hand
i've many things
to do to do
before somewhere i land
so now what
so now what
waiting for the lottery
the pimp the guru the geek
waiting for the final tick
the catholic the muslim the seik
so now what
and
where do we go
what enterprise is worth it
feed the starving
clothe the naked
say no to the bullet
to war
and so what
and so what
will the world keep floating
with the universe speak
will the gods go on gloating
because we all seem so weak
and so what
and so what
what now
what now
my aging skin
my wrinkles
my stiffening joints
my old man breath
my attitude that tingles
the hair on the back of my neck
speaks wonders
music feels it's way
and
what is so
and
what is so
and
is it
this
just this
i think the mermaids sing
to prufrock
i do
i think that
beauty takes the day
i think my thinks
until
the
until
who takes me
and
what then
i anticipate the final question
and
relish every moment
that's

what
