Drowning

Drowning Cold creation has bequeathed him progress Useless and torn from his children A mockery becomes less than human Casual use his habitual life buoy Disconnection from his own culture Less than a man in his borrowed suit In consuming the struggle for breath Squandered a desperate attempt at living The isolation for all is deepening Entertainment now histories water treading Suckled to the electronic teat No lenient hand can save him On mass she is used To proliferate and consummate the future An icon of fashionable starvation Not from mysticism or returned to religion The supplications for something hereafter Her longing for everything more fortunate Life itself shall wither and devour Dreams nor hope will avail The beauty she possess as witnesses fractures in her need And born away to solitary No moment to touch this inaccessible society The world has neglected its magic Obsession to hold, to have all the more To fill their tedium hours of “for what is life for” Ever wider, ever stronger, ever more desperate luxuriating calls So earning their right to the accouterments and paraphernalia Upstanding bright members of nothing A comfort whim to feed a homophobic civilization Capitalism sanctioned this their slavery Bought and sold by murder and hamburger So frantic in the exchanges of money and so intolerant Capitalism strips the care from their world Plagiarizes their love and their heart only to whisper of freedom Only to use, misuse, abuse and imprison A life time lived for acquiring The producing comestible meats of self satisfying They are sold to themselves Poison sluggishly floods between the hastily concealed cracks A global wasteland in our laziness advances And political insanity is digging a mass burial
