Lost in the ghetto lands of blighted and brutal suburbia

The naked children huddle before the fornicating image of Miley Cyrus

And dare to dream !

••

Dream of escape!

••

Escape into the blighted and brutal High Hills
Of sordid Wealth and perverted Fame
Where WE THE PEOPLE
******* lovingly before THE GODS!

••

Sick!

We are sick!

Physically
Emotionally
Intellectually
&
Spiritually
Sick Sick
Sick!!

••

(to put it mildly)

••

Anyway

So?

•••

The weight of the world!

(Not as heavy as the weight of our morbidly obese
And disgustingly dying unloved bodies)

But still

THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD!

--

(which, in fact, we do not bother to carry)

••

The naked children

(remember them?)

They're still there huddling before the fornicating image of Miley Cyrus

//////
//////

How do you suppose that they shall die?

SUICIDE
HEART FAILURE
WAR
RADIATION POISONING
STARVATION

••

Guess right and win a prize!!!

•••

(Triviality is all that's left)

.•••

Unless?

••

Unless you truly die and be reborn again
