A vicious attack* of that crackling brainiac anthrax To give back to society Slack then just grab the heat, Feed it to the needy who receive it thankfully. Call it *poetry. Who could see repressed punctuality proceeded By the kick of a hit or three? Gimme these retrospective variants To a counterpoint's last stand, Or voices Speaking to a lost cost for freedom That rips at the rotting veins of humanity- I stood up for what I believed in, But the world will too crumble when the sun's light dulls dead. You can call this rambling for something To take the brain-scraping ache away- The pain of the mistaken vacant escape. Who's to say that we're all just thrown here To die and to try to believe in something that exists, And if we can't find it then we're lost and wrong and Guilty. Leave me barely breathing if the seeing is now ceasing To a state of gray monotony, And melancholy monsters creeping Out from under the bed where my habits sleep- And threaten with a scratch, hiss and screetch To Wake Me *Up.
