Falling

My dreams fore sore

The night before

That I was alone

My castle is not my own

The trees and fields

Are not my home

Devils in dresses

And daemons at Masses

If the world’s a stage

And us upon it players

Then the world is ending

And we fall with it

The bodies will tumble

Into ditches and divots

Horsemen clutching at your heels

But you will never see it

In the Hollywood Reels

That sell sex, starvation,

And rock n roll,

Gucci, Prada, Maripol

Prince Charming will not

Slay the dragons

Or climb the tower

To rescue you

He’s too busy at home

Playing Call of Duty 2

Fake heroes

For an imaginary war

Asleep

When North Korea

Comes knocking at your door

We, the deluded ones

Fake hair, fake bodies, fake guns

Crying out for someone to save us

When the time comes

The have forsaken us

The brave ones

So pray to your God of science

Of hate, of injustice

As the missiles come to burn us

Sincerity is out of fashion.

The world is falling

And we fall with it.
