antharax was used for terrorism

it's kind of like antharax; vanity;

it's in the air in your eyes in your lungs in your walls

 

someone else put it there

you're breathing it in and you're not even aware

it's killing you, you know

 

and the only reason you're reading this now

is because something drew you in.

maybe it's because this is typewritten

...

hell knows if it were in my handwriting

you wouldn't have gotten past the third letter

 

but back to the killing

back to the dying

 

the vanity that someone has put in the air and is filling your lungs,

it's curable.

all you have to do is realize

 

;

this poem is not about you.
