The World's Dark Truths
I enjoy Nothing
For what is there to enjoy
I relax when I feel
The world burn
Self destruct
My blood is acid
So let us drink
Sip as though we need it
Death is the only light
And life is the darkness
Disappointment controls
Our unreliable souls
Turn away and face the lies
You learned to hate
If you only love the truth
It’s still burning
The world
We sit sipping our blood
We laugh as we watch
The world crumbles
Cry when we see it
Pick itself back up
From the debris
What are we
Animals sit at the table
Watch TV
Sleep in beds
Humans walk on four legs
Drink from bowls
And howl at the moon
Fully empty Hearts
Of lead
