Breathing fumes so foul
That twist your nose in knots
And bring ten stomachs to a collective growl.
Wretched stench that keeps us
Clean away from scents
We wish to have today.
And so we buckle
Under every chuckle
At business meetings.
Restrain from showing
Any pain
At someone's grieving.
Having sex with robots
For some realness feigning
To paint our truest shades
Under this greyest ceiling.
Longing for a step
Onto a broken glass.
To feel the joy at last
Of razor cuts that pierce the nerve
And send us screaming fierce
In ecstasy absurd...
Time honored tradition
Of submission...
You're no longer heard.
