They sit.
They stand.
They walk.
They talk.
They work.
They eat.
They sleep,
Revering their veils of fantasy,
Bathing in the pools of poison,
Idolizing their lives of painted plastic,
Shunning the inevitable,
Treasuring their ignorance,
Savoring the artificial grains of sugary hope;
Oblivious
To their
Impending
Demise,
Oblivious
To the
Dollhouse
Surrounding them.
