untitled three

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Damned hell of a world
Where people are just people they're not
And I'm fucked up
And so are you
We're all screwed over with the same abstraction
The mind is deranged
Bodies ugly
Eyes and hearts held in a paper bag
Tossed about like lunch
Bitter bread of angry souls
Tar juice of flowing revulsion
Swallowed down like daily doses
By absent empathy
And x-marked void
Tyrannical and sovereign
Turning people inside out
Organs smeared against the magnifying glass
Blood like rancid gas
It hangs like an epidemic around us
It gouges our eyes
And tears us limb from limb
Like the meat for dinner
So nauseatingly imperfect
A wad of impalpable shape
Ascending like the sad reflections
Of the erring turns
Straight to obscurity
Plunge in eternal massacre
'Cause it's a new holocaust
We curse ourselves
In violence
In passion
Then sucked on a revolver
That keeps us alive
It keeps us standing
It keeps us going
