DEPLETED

The descent into madness

I feel it

Creeping through

Impending doom

I see it

Repetition of a theme

It comes clear to me

There is nought here but stale dreams

I seek ascension

Anywhere but here

No prison

No submission

Escape the role of living trope

Life is a joke

Caustic luxury

Substitute amenities

To placate the venom in these veins

Sensory overload

Surpassing the synaptic threshold

As a human cash crop

Psychic death comes slow

Sometimes I wish I didn't know

Dysgenic absence of love

Conditioned to care for only one

A Huxleyan dilemma

Artificially rendered

Betwixt happiness and savagery

And bound by the swinging pendulum

From which we're never free

Domination denied

Your rejection is outright

I don’t want it

Can’t you see it

I choose to stay undefeated

And as you waste away in your bilge and filth

Two tears in a bucket just for you

And when you reach the end of your rope you’ll choke
