Decency
Manners
Courtesy
Devoured
By vapidity
Breathe easy

Tired eyes
Lagging limbs
The sun dies
After sunrise
Breathe easy
That’s what they tell me

Work to live
Live to work
Digest daily
Keep away
From extremity
Yawn
Days go on
Breathe easy

On
On
Around
Around
I can hear sound
But no meaning
Can be found
Under the vibration
Of the mechanical recitation
“Breathe easy”

How is it
That even the survivors
Are dead
Wake up
To Go to bed
Void of something to live for
So they live no more
