And now the years are catching up with me, my distended belly disgorging spurts of rotten ****
And now the porcelain god grows to encompass the whole of reality
And now my energy wanes by mid-day, no longer capable of fifty-hour work days
And now, too, the flames of rebellion in me are stoked by capitalist bellows
And now the anger I lived with for so long has metastasized to the culture at large
And now I inspect my mirror image fatefully waiting to discover receding hair line, bleeding gums, and liver spots
And now the world at large coddles up to fascism like it was a warm fire on a dark night of the soul
And now I prepare my soul for the blood I will shed in the name of peace, the blood with which I will wash my hands
And now my friend's houses are burning to ashes while the rich horde water like wealth
And now I beg the god I hardly believe in for restitution, or another CEO slaying to fuel their fear
And now I lay my head to rest upon mother earth's breast and wait for the waves to take me
