Hospitality I.

loads and loads of people bring
life back to the lifeless sea
millions of sandals
gallons of sunscreen

I smile through it all
but deep inside i scream

you come and you go
or is it the other way round
the earth spins counter clockwise
and upside down

nights and days
lines they blur
work for the man
watch the medicine cure

sand beneath my fingernails
in the dog's hair
rough like sandpaper the sheets they feel

down the drain
wash it away
put a smile on 
sit all day

eat from the ocean
taste the salt air
in everything
but see who cares

swoon for the people
with pockets deep
overflowing with money
make our economy weep

i smile through it all 
but deep inside i scream
i just don't see how after everything
you still love me
