Suffer Till Someone Else Takes Over

 

Now we find ourselves living in a state of death
in this mere mortal homicide homeland
we are isolated in an endless universe
and gravitational collapse seems imminent
the emergency preparedness test sirens
blare through our hymns and prayers.

Why all the lies? Despair is an insult to God
but give me the benefit of the doubt
I’m broken. Try me. I’m still somewhat functional
let me suffer. suffer. suffer
till someone else takes over
there’s nothing left to plunder.
