Fading gloss smears in tasteless display
tattered shrine layers of veneer degrade
shattered pose vulgar pageantry in vain
compression grey scale rainbow liquidate
i can feel it coming down
Broken door leans gently in its frame
showing more than its purpose would explain
like before except not at all the same
beg for more an existence born in pain
i can feel it coming down
to be cherished
to be worshiped
to be healthier
to be worth it
to be serviced
no disturbance
on the surface
like a furnace
to have purpose and an answer
a disservice and a cancer
to torment to appall
no desire to recall
build a wall
meters tall
let it fall
end it all
urban sprawl
tattered shawl
poorly hiding from it all
a delusion in confusion of a misinformed illusion
seeking non existent spaces to reveal your darkest places
this safety is less real than the way you ought to feel
forced to forfeit any choice and to silence every voice
until they recite the rule, perfect unison will fuel
the demise and the lies and in total compromise,
you realize you despise all you've come to symbolize
in a state of reinvention you destroy relieving tension.
you survive
