I head for home in the evening

the news is as horrid

HOPELESSNESS!

 

such horrors as Sodom never knew

and if that werent bad enough

at my evenings rest, warm

in the comfort of my very own home

(or padded movie theatre seat)

any entertainment I could need

any information I would want

stands ready to at a buttons push

flow unstopped into my sanctuary

charge from my un-darkened screen

into a darkness much deeper

all that is wrong with this world

splashing through this eager fountain

on to my no longer innocent eyes

unapologetic

unfiltered

unrelenting

remorseless death destroying life

 

Rome had nothing on us
