This was a troubling concept─ 
to start a dress rehearsal, 
of ethnic cleansing. 

Something pokes out─ 
on the tail end of the story. 
There was no heart in the game. 

You are driven like a─ 
flock of sheep. The shepherd 
lives in the fortress of slogans. 

A placebo effect was quite- 
evident. Everybody was 
drunk on sugar pills. 

Unadulterated, the swearing─ 
had become genetic. You start 
walking on the burning coals.
