Pushing Your Morality

Pushing Your Morality Pushing your morality like a drug. A street drug without effect. An addictive placebo. An open invitation to dine with scum. A street drug without effect That you suck through a straw, providing An open invitation to dine with scum In some fast food alleyway. That you suck through a straw providing In-depth philosophical integration In some fast food alleyway With the synapses blinking like neon. In-depth philosophical integration Slagging to a child's mental playground With the synapses blinking like neon... Off and on, off and on, off and on. Slagging to a child's mental playground While the traffic thumps and pounds Off and on, off and on, off and on. Like the pain of a debilitating migraine While the traffic thumps and pounds, I stand alone with my head hanging low. Like the pain of a debilitating migraine I struggle to see the difference between the sky and the earth. I stand alone with my head hanging low. An addictive placebo. I struggle to see the difference between the sky and the earth, as you Push your morality like a drug. Robert Denton (November 2014)
