DELUSIONS
live just to climb a broken ladder
in a benign movement
total cause dilution
from rebellion to assimilation.
nothing you have done
inspires association.
the cause is so cliche
reduced to a crappy b-movie remake
born into inherent arrogance
turning strength into complacency.
your only compassion
is fraudulent fashion.
contributions include a
drunken swagger and sneer
even the stock market
has a brighter future.
nothing can be said
to wake you from this dream
it's surprising to me that you
even remember how to breathe.
