The Bright Lights of the City
social commentary
he took mud and gravel and sand
and built structures oh so grand
elevated people high above
disconnecting them from
God’s earth of love
he fed them corpses piece by piece
and choked them on fear as they attempted ease
through tv boxes they were powerless to cease
and music played in the notes of disease,
he grouped them together as they fell sick
to finish them off nice and quick,
oh humans, oh humans
how do you fail to see
the devils blueprint
in every city?

Diaries to Nietzsche
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

"music played in the notes of disease" I especially loved those lines and the question at the end!
so completely relevant, and I loved the structure you chose
Apropos to these times indeed.
