Emptiness
They are the emptiness
their children will become empty and give birth to more emptiness
surround themselves with stray pets to ease the emptiness
have no sense of just so thus their brains are weightless
clothing ourselves with emptiness
it's a fashion to look uneducated, dubious, ridiculous in the most obvious way
materials to fill in what we never even knew we had, blank statements
becoming more and more faceless
our taste buds have become tasteless
raising children to be shameless
becoming zombified adults before ever being zombified children
aborting what we think we are not ready for
the emptiness, it was in us all along
but as for me, I am too strong.
