Are they living?

Because I know they're damned

Robbed of dignity and

Enslaved by their own minds

Flexing to solve themselves

By erasing every day with every night

They are the wretched of the earth

I watch their eyes

Wash into

Rotting skulls

I won't know how this ends

Failures of a social experiment

Walking solemnly to the hum

Of a city that doesn't give a fuck

They are the wretched ones

And I got nothing for them
