A Modern Paradise

A stuttering halt is a fantasy here;

as believable as low-budget science fiction.

Let us freeze one and all with violent ambition.

 

A time of calm is nonexistent here;

our  disposal of time is a fruitless conviction.

Let us play the victim of a reckless tradition.

 

For me, paradise is just a pair of dice:

if we roll them and get lucky,

then society won't **** me.

 

The odds are painless.

You can trust me;

we won't ever be so lucky.
