No Treats

In a world of tricks

expect no treats
 

Hastening our end

We've broken the world

elected fools no help

hastening our end
 

Loved all the while

Today becomes the past

Too quickly

are our goodbyes

parting broken

loved all the while
 

Mad World

The powers that be

throw us bones

and bribe with candy

power and control

their grail and crown

where no one is free

rulers and ruled
 

The religion of politics

War

The Madness

of the ruling class

more and more

from citadels

and distant shores

killing

the religion of politics
 

So Long

So long as the rain washes all away

we go too, never knowing
 

Beneath

beneath

the cold hard ground

opens to the deep

beckoned from below

we chase madness down
