Heard you died in the news br I read of your death in the paper br I saw you die of stab wound br I heard you were strangled br In a dark abandoned alley br Every night since eternity began br Backwards. br br Oh doomed forsaken Humanity br Your death is no longer cause br Enough for me to pause br In the mesmerizingly normal br Dazed existence of my br Living room. br The numbing quality of the br Expensive grub I consume br Seems like prosaic “manna” for br My sentience. br I drink to your trance br O conscience br I salute the iron resolution br With which br You persist … br Drugged.
