And the Beach Boys sweet, saccharine summer vibes
were the music that played in
Manson’s mind
as in a house in 10050 Cielo Drive
his victims died
and do you ever think
if we let the artist draw beautiful things
and the musicians create
and embraced softness as neither a masculine or feminine thing
but an acceptable human trait
instead of letting them get lost on the wheel
of corporate consumption and hate
and Hollywood’s masculine only take
that maybe there’d be less blood
and more paint?
