Over & Out - Assemblage 23

A proud, indignant

Idiocy

You think it’s funny

I disagree

Stupification

Beyond a doubt

It’s doing us in Over and out

Nature or nurture

Dichotomy

It doesn’t matter

What you believe

The world’s devolving

A mental drought

Run for the exit

Over and out

Dull, listless eyes stare ever blankly

Nothing behind them ever stirs

The world outside is burning coldly

We never noticed it at all

Recursive copies

Each one degrades

We bleed together

The image fades

Ready reduction

To bring about

Our own destruction

Over and out

A barren future

A damaged road

That leads to nowhere

An error code

Like squinting primates

With furrowed brows

We made our own end

Over and out

Dull, listless eyes stare ever blankly

Nothing behind them ever stirs

The world outside is burning coldly

We never noticed it at all
