In a Culture of Execution

Standing nine to five

Fist cocked

Rifles at the ready 

Learning half mast

Full blast

That we were last night

Tomorrow is a voyeur

Leaving her jewelry 

On the nightstand for a

One night hand stand

Hell of a time

 

Wrist watches wasted 

After cell phones busted 

Into new homes 

Demanding attention

What time to be 

At the alter 

Dressed in space black

Licking my lips to get 

A trophy babe

To push out my new wave 

Of brainwashed futures

 

A diamond cut for us

In the jungles of

God knows where 

Now adorns the 

Digit of a dame 

Who won't wonder

How much it took to plunder

The world over so 

She could say "I do"

To a man with no balance

In family and life 

Working up a sweat to support

His own selfish way of thinking

 

I don't invite the bats to the party anymore. They just keep showing up until the house is all sonicated with an allocation of glass blasted to the brink of sand. I put on my nice coat tonight just in case there are females in sight who might see me at my finest. I dine late with alcoholics and moral gamblers all scrambling for more opportunities to lie with a temporary solution. I've come into contact with miles of minutiae pummeling me back to where I was with grey matter soaked hands. My brain is once again to blame for my well being when temporary distractions pull me from long term resolutions. When you make a wish, wish one for me.

 

I've ate all my wishes in front of you on hands and knees, smiling for your cameras.
