Clandestine world confined

To the early hours

The admittance of guilt

Relinquishing any power

Yet there they always stood

Two steps from an early grave

Suspending disbelief when

Deciphering short waves

White pills dissolve relief

But no resolve

We're all installed like a

Virus waiting to evolve

Solvent allures minds that

Dare to change

A brave new world once

Neutrons rearrange

A date with fate a test to

Propagate

Cerebral mutation a means

To liberate

White pills dissolve relief

But no resolve

We're all installed like a

Virus waiting to evolve

With trepidation they move

Forward into sight

Delineation between the

Darkness and light

Cylinder seals role out

Cures in cuneiform

Profane creation though

Response is uniform

We live in fear there is

No doubt

When they appear can't

Scream or shout

Visions severe for

Those devout

Drowning in tears won't

Make it out
