Let it die
And let it swallow me with it
No escape, I dig with spades
I scrape my knees on asphalt
And live in empty streets
In my mind
I have a fist-fight with Auden
And as he's bleeding he's making money
A mockery of my divine art
He's in the textbook
And I am dying
In my eyes
The sun has lost all meaning
No true light, but neon signs
****** who walk the block
Glamour dolls bedecked with rouge
Make-up to cover scars
We call beautiful
Despite ourselves

You live inside a box
And I can repeat words
Mad Mad Mad
paper can't survive the flood
An old man
Man man man
man
Deny the works
And suffer worms
You were taught to love dirt
Become slaves
Embrace the hurt
I shine a light of truth
And I would die for my cause
I sacrifice myself
To save you
But you know only to save the pain
I die in vain
A martyrs death
I give it all until nothings left
And nothings right
There is no way I can prove
This is too good for you
I am not your friend, I am a poet. On of few.... the king

I am almost sure the readers will not be smart enough for this poem, just like everything else
