this is what the world is coming to
we are all insane
and our neighbors are being slaughtered
and raped
i sit alone and drink
music softens life's cruel grip on my soul
and i am safe
while your babysitter is molesting your children
you interact with these people very day
these are the people who you stand behind in line
at the grocery store
these are the people eating next to you at restaurants
these are the people smiling as you pass on the streets
these are the people stopping at the red lights
and turning left at the arrow
the people washing their floors and making dinner
they are doing laundry
they are taking out their garbage
you live with these people
they are surrounding you
they have deep dark secrets
they witnessed a murder
they are hiding bones
and flesh
and a new found fetish
in their basements
they are collecting fingernail clippings
they are collecting their hair
they are masturbating while you come home from work
they are thinking about you
watching you from the window, the slightly cracked blinds
these are your friends
these are your coworkers
your pals
and your associates
they are completely crazy
are you scared?
i am.
