I'm scared of the musical taste of this generation. Now I don't need to haste, with this music. Cuz I know I have the power to abuse this. But I'll rather be a nuisance. And setup an intrusion. Clear up all the pollution. Cuz the youths minds are polluted. Caring more about possessions. As their minds unknowingly possessed. Ta-da. Magicians got u hypnotized. And I criticize, every single lie. **** people who can't sympathize with this generation.

Lost Generation
We buy bags and shoes for money that could feed us for weeks We use Botox and scalpels to fix our imperfections We never leave the house or the room without checking our reflection or taking a selfie We make sure there’s never a hair out of place or a flaw to be seen We are the lost generation Our appearances are nothing but shells But that’s fine No one ever sees the empty insides We are the lost generation We are empty inside But we don’t care All we have ever wanted All we have ever craved is to be beautiful corpses

14. Georg is laid in the tomb
A hero of war— That’s what they called him. They spent themselves Trying to find words To give meaning to his death, But all was lost and all was Pointless.

13. Georg is taken down from the cross
His angular head Hung in glory For the things he carried Were not his own. The cross he carried Was his father’s story. He hung upon the crossbar of deaths row. “Mother may I, go on and die? There is nothing left for me. Nothing!” He bowed his head— He died.

12. Georg dies on the cross
“Abba! Abba! Why have you forsaken me? Abba! Abba! Why have you traded glory for my death? Abba! Abba! The iron hath rusted The youth hath faded away. Here outstretched lay I for a stupid war. If you must father, drive spikes through my hands Make them spikes of *** to forget about war Today I have tasted the good wine, And today I will die as a holy sign.”

11. Georg is nailed to the cross
Panic set in as he woke up naked on the table. He looked down his slender leg to find a stump of yellow and green projections. His stump was sewn together like a Christmas ham. Chloroform callbacks reeled into his mind. Naked, he felt as though a free man. Here on this table in the dying days Lay the last breaths of hope in humanity.

10. Georg is stripped of his clothing
Metal protruded from his skull He felt the war deep in his mind. No man’s land hugged Georg With a frigid sense of endearment. Wrapped in the tendrils of the night, What good was his wound now? He was missing pieces, Waiting for a missing peace. God softly called, “This is the end”

9. Georg falls the third time
Round two sounds the bell, Flesh wounds are new. It blisters. **** filled sores. The wait begins. “How long will it be? Perhaps an hour. Wait! Perhaps— Perhaps they wouldn't come. Yes! My way out of it all. A hero’s escape. They just couldn't get me in time. Maybe I’ll die in the wait— I’d rather die in hope. Alas, the stretcher of life comes. **** it. I live to fight another day.”

7. Georg falls the second time
Through the haze of dust came The miraculous love. Love brought vapors of sweet befores. “Ahh the smell,” thought he, “This be the Temptation of youth.” Girls doused in Thick smell: summer’s scented sand. T’was not many girls, but one. One who He loved—He fathomed possible. Soap and towel, given for the purge. Dunked in baptismal waters, But the earth was resilient. The details are in the fabric. The fabric is in the details. Was it his stitching, or the towel’s? imprinted with a thorny crown.

6. Veronica wipes the face of Georg
Georg lay waste to sharp shrapnel pangs. The hand of Simon reached, gripping The leatherneck deformity Off the forsaken war floor. Spitting slurred speech he raged to Georg “Take my hand Comrade! Do not wait! Gas is coming, can not you taste?” Georg could taste the thicket of dust. The dust preyed upon him—his youth. Under cover the two discussed, The pains of war—the loves they lost. “I loved my wife” spoke he: Simon. “I loved my books,” Spoke he: Georg. “I loved my faith,” Spoke he: Simon. “Tell me Simon, what good is faith?” “I know not why—I just hold it.” “I hold far too much don’t you see? My father’s will doth burden me. Besides, what of faith here entrenched? They let us carry dead men, but What of faith? I ponder this so. Should not faith carry us comrade? Oh how the faith has lost its weight. Trust me comrade faith will not save.”

5. Simon helps Georg carry his cross
Mother may I, take two steps forward? Mother may I, come to your bedside? Mother may I, tell you of the torture? Mother may I, request a sweet lullaby? Mother may I, plant understanding? Mother may I, ever cross the sea? Mother may I, keep on exploring? Mother may I, drift away from thee? I may, mother, drift across the bar. I may, mother, sink beneath the storm. I may, mother, find God over par. I may, mother, be whole yet still torn. I may, mother, be gloried yet pained. I may, mother, be generationally ***** I may, mother, be lost and not found. I may, mother, be within—without.

4. Georg meets his mother
A young heart blisters raw with war, And a young mind wonders nevermore. A young man stands upon the hinge of glory, And a young man fights his history. A young body ails in the pouring rain, And a young body weeps with cold estrange. A young spirit is condemned to death, As a young spirit bears the cross of the rest.
