The Last Great Civility
This is our haven, the filth and luxury we bathe in
Rivers of creamed conscience consisting of
Guilted disillusionment, and thought Rot
Or some other adolescent nonsense.
Our hedonistic repressions refute us sleep
So that our reality squanders sanity
And borders of rationality blot; smear.
We squat in fear of our own predisposition;
The thin lines of obsolescence and desperation.
But Luck draws quarters on us all.
And the thick grime gray of institutionalization covers our mouths;
Paints our walkways and walls;
The tenements of our disdain
Entomb us within ourselves. A private conformist Hell
Below the House that Man built.
Sovereign humanity wars with it's own autonomated savages
And the last great civility of mankind falls.
