Voyeurists Trooped

Watch as the world turns a cold shoulder

Watch as the man stands, hands on head

dead, silence emits a deafening roar

Watch as the kids pick up guns

suns expiring, darkening

the day before it's hour

Watch as the woman morns

the one she'd adorn means nothing any more

another 'x' on sheet

Watch as the world numbs itself

Watch as the coward next to you smokes himself

To Death, too afraid to do it quickly.

He has no passion watching the cherry lengthen

Watch as the humans demean their existence

Persistent to vacate the throne

"Long live Technology!"

Watch as the world takes everything back

Watch as the television melted minds

fall fast, in-adept

survival of the fittest on a grandeur scale

frailty unveiled

Watch through the window

afraid of life

...just keep watching.
