Modern Horror

Information overload
I cannot seem to keep 
it straight
the grief of whom weighs more 
To pile the politicians heaving plate
A pound of flesh is paid 
to zero consequence 
Jesus only weeps for whom have
paid in cash for their penance 
  
Modern horror all around
Our dreams are dead and in the ground
Modern horror all around
Our dreams are dead and in the ground 
 
Means of production
Or to an end
The children killed - all complicit
Subjective truth tells
terminal lies
In celebration of decline
""few people laughed- few people cried""
manifest millions to die
A sudden flash and all is gone
but for the ghosts to sing along"
