The Madcap

Chaos

The noise rages from all sides
Spinning, radiating, amplified
A whirlpool drains us all
Yanking us all into the abyss

Truth is dead!
We only hear lies
Excuses for why
Our lives are destroyed
By the evil ones
Who do not care
If we live or die
As long as we labor
Unendingly
In our unpaid generosity
For the leaders
Who don’t need us.

When there is nothing left
And only billionaires live
Amongst the corpses of the wretched
Unburied poor
The stench of the dead
Is overwhelmed
By the stench of the living
Who killed them
Knowingly
Purposefully

Chaos reigns amongst the madmen
And in the end
There will be no men
No women, no children

The only way out is to restore an order
Defeat the lunacy
With singular purpose
Knowing what we want
And working tirelessly
Towards that final goal

The end of chaos…
