Trade Show Victims

by sean-murray

Thieves, thieves. Christ are we petty. Could not have imagined such a death Such a short-sited venomous slip of the mind such a death-toll... so unpredicted-ably sad to see             A mighty species Die. That's the fate of the fate-less, I guess Our gods were a faceless Mass of derangement Massive enough to take us to space. What we've plucked from out of our souls We can never replace Such as it is, we have no chance Put to death. Stoned and detached. That's how it ends --surrounded. We write out these sorrows that aren't really sorrows and Pin the tasteless love to our chests Oratorical shit-hoarding Trade-card victims with no actual dignity left. How embarrassing.. the glory of man-kind To face a demise, so mundane. Forsaken by lies. Our souls have been neutered and Turned into tools for Violently-popular Prostitution-alized fools Love for the luscious the rush of the snarling Hysterical rousings of Tumultuous twerps. This is the way that history ends. Resting in our dreams.

Notes

Sorry for my last post,

I was drunk and tired and just slammed out a bunch of craziness.

I'm not going to delete it though because I stand by my point... whatever that might be.
