"Kill yourself" the devil whispers.....
and slowly the people stop drawing Breath...
"Prepare your Vespers and run from the lepers
who Fear not the Figure of Death
Mount your horse and ride the steed
into the battlefield of Of newsFeeds,
wield the shield of (t)Reason and Zeal and
Seed the wheel with Desperate Deeds,
tis all you can do to safely peruse
this Virtual Nightmare of the human Zoo..."
"Kill yourself" the devil whispers.....
And silently the people lay down in shame
"Prepare your vespers and run from the lepers
standing Sovereign in this Scripted Game...
Bind your Will in Shining Pills
and strip your Soul of all that Feels
and you shall be safe in Electric Fields
programmed with Thoughts that Yield
the Bounty for my Final Meal,
the Clock is Tocking
and I am Counting Down to Seal the Deal..."
"Kill yourself " the devil whispers......
And blindly the people betray their Blood....
"Prepare your Vespers and run from the Lepers
who Swim with Freedom in this Fraudulent Flood
Scroll and Troll and mutilate your Soul
with impassioned debate
and terror of Fate
that threatens to swallow you Whole,
Satiate the Scripted Bait
and Break the Gate of the Bodies Weight
as the Masquerade Brings you Home.....
I patiently Wait...."
