recorded 12/22 in The Cave

_________________
RED PILL OD
I just wanted to believe it would
set my mind free
just a dose to reveal
the reality unseen
all the dealers on my screen told me
it was healthy
they sold me Beta-carotene
placebos for my low T
they’re coated in toxic masculinity
and they’re killing me
crypto shills and crypto-fascists
incel chauvinists’ wet dreams
I learned some men are so much worse than I thought they could be

SLIMY PANACEA
slip through the cracks
drip through the gaps
stick to the back of the throat
answer every question asked
squirmy, slithering, slimy panacea
cures all the ills
pays all the bills
flows in the the direction of a
circular argument
seeps in your knees as you beg the question
a squirmy, slithering, slimy panacea

WATCHMAN DECREE
no theocracy
no religious test for nationality
no rote piety
no authority to feed you this decree
you may wanna be
a lamb of god in a flock of sheep
but the rest of us are free
the rest of us can see
you may herd a few, but you won’t get me

THROUGH YOUR HEAD
we’re dead
can’t you get it through your head
you might feel alive,
but we were killed by wage, by rent
in the depths of crushing credit debt
we’re spent, nothing again, nonexistent
we’re dead and in your heaven
