<\/p>\n

flags and guns
\nuseless pronouns
\nmice in rain
\nsociety is
\nstrapped to a white table
\nand kept
\nin a constant state
\nof decay<\/p>\n

captured and creeping closer to the edge
\nnine lazy leaders
\nwash the mountain spirit
\nfrom our fragile faces
\nand still we refuse to see<\/p>\n

the media is an outlet of hate
\nbut i still believe in love
\n(i killed my television long ago)<\/p>\n

art is our only disguise
\nfrom the final things<\/p>\n

the madness of the world
\nrarely phase me
\nit’s the madness
\nof useless nights
\nstale an unending
\nthat continue
\nto hammer the soul<\/p>\n

forget this absurd season finally
\nthe shadow
\nwill never gain substance
\nand i’m waiting
\nfor the gods to laugh
\nand recycle
\nall this human refuse<\/p>\n
