The Feeling You Get When You're Swallowed Whole

I am the swollen belly of a snake, Filled up with 150 different flavours of ice cream, 100% fat, 100% diabetes. Give me more. I am the swollen belly of a snake, All night drive-thrus, the Golden Arches of heart disease. Give me more. I am the swollen belly of a snake, Super sized, double order of fries, any kind, anytime. Give me more. I am the swollen belly of a snake, Gobbling up commercials selling the same shit a million different ways. Give me more. I am the swollen belly of a snake, absorbing political excrement like a big fat chocolate candy bar. Give me more. I am the swollen belly of a snake, Gobbling up fear and propaganda, I slurp up lies, and wash it all down with a big fuck you to a blatant reality staring me square in the face. I assume ignorance and deny responsibility. Give me more. I am the swollen belly of a snake, bursting, spewing vomit over cities, because we knew deep down  it couldn't last. They filled me up so full I vomited violently until there was nothing left. I am the empty belly of a snake and I am hungry.
