A badge without condition bought cheap, from a thrift store Lies with brass medals and plastic ribbon, from uncaring hands. A paid add on the paper floor, claps on the back from glad-hands, Claps for marrying poor, she’s worth it, all her rotten core. You walk with conceit, when the army stamped it’s boot, A doctor’s note, before the sarge could break your seat. Readies from your parent’s purse, a hand-out on the brew. You queue for ****** on the roads in a pimped-out hearse. Slurred words drawl from the dark, blood spit on the street, Fistfights punctuate grammar like an exclamation mark. You clone another you, spat from the womb cold; A mother’s love wrapped in smoke of cozened blue. There is no end to your ambition.

Apathy for the Distopian
A badge without condition bought cheap, from a thrift store Lies with brass medals and plastic ribbon, from uncaring hands. A paid add on the paper floor, claps on the back from glad-hands, Claps for marrying poor, she’s worth it, all her rotten core. You walk with conceit, when the army stamped it’s boot, A doctor’s note, before the sarge could break your seat. Readies from your parent’s purse, a hand-out on the brew. You queue for ****** on the roads in a pimped-out hearse. Slurred words drawl from the dark, blood spit on the street, Fistfights punctuate grammar like an exclamation mark. You clone another you, spat from the womb cold; A mother’s love wrapped in smoke of cozened blue. There is no end to your ambition.
