impoverished desperation 

led the economy/society to keep better records  

to tell you a story that’s worse when it’s expanded.

let’s get on with the pledge drive.

colleagues compare genetics and sometimes things happen

thank the doctor, pay him, and die

he lives on through our diagnostic eye

its a dream that makes the difference

its a single shot 

so take it like breath you exhaled backwards

protectionist ideals led the army to a good night and a poor day

regale us with your war cry when you need tears to moisten your communion wafer

“only zombies eat flesh,” laughed a voice from the most morbid of humour

drum lines form and war is born and flesh is torn

and only one of us will make it out alive

attractive teens fight to the death

crossbow screeches through blood and meth

pageant finalist in love with hollywood

its a very fun and typical story of enlightenment

its a scream that creates insistence

its a routine stop

so take it easy like breath you exhaled backwards

before the poison

and before the love
