Is this pure reality?
Could we be led to believe?
Lemmings up against a sea
Drowning in speculation
Even told when waters older
More polluted never
Drink the murky media
To plumb the depth of time
Anyone
Anyone
Anyone
Anyone
What of human frailty
Visualize with clarity?
Past the sanitation
To the childish flesh and bone
Bleaching sticks and stoner ribs
Pukes up the gallow’s laughter
Stage the mighty media
Blessing this sanitation
What is this supposed to hold?
Freedoms crush, disparaged souls?
Despot dug in yellow cake
And failed to certify it
Crippled son to pass it on
A hatred fed on hatred
Redefy defensive form
As if to never see that
What is real?
Canned I feel,
Less important than today
Anyway, is it worth the slaughter?
Sit and feel absolutely zero suffering
A condition worth denying
Pasted carcass, killing fields
Body parts off dolls that bleed
Who was once committed
Pulling wings off flying things
Feeling bold to knot put over
Twisted ever after
Hissing faded left alone
To replicate the lie
What is real?
Ask the dream
Some dim shift, a rift within
Funniest seems a distant damp ring
Fitting end
Destination: ego
Death within
The condition: dear dementia
Could we be led to believe?
