As Needles
January 30, 2019
As needles tear holes in the skin of broken men
Pour forth their distilled comfort.
In a world of sadness where beauty is only found
In fermented drink.
Liberation only found
In fistfulls of powder.
Sadness overtakes the masses
Silence overtakes the masses
Everyone has the same foul secret
And you friend.
Do you know the secret.
Has it wormed its way into your heart
Like the magots on carion
How well do you forget death
How soon will you fall sad.
How soon will you fall silent.
