Modern Horror

Information overload

I cannot seem to keep

it straight

the grief of whom weighs more

To pile the politicians heaving plate

A pound of flesh is paid

to zero consequence

Jesus only weeps for whom have

paid in cash for their penance

  

Modern horror all around

Our dreams are dead and in the ground

Modern horror all around

Our dreams are dead and in the ground

 

Means of production

Or to an end

The children killed - all complicit

Subjective truth tells

terminal lies

In celebration of decline

"few people laughed- few people cried"

manifest millions to die

A sudden flash and all is gone

but for the ghosts to sing along
