TheDeceased
Ex-Bluelighter
Reservoir
Concrete waterfalls rain misery
Tears submerging the streets
As structures rise against the flood
Fountains, barely visible; penthouse islands
Like icebergs tips in an ocean of fear
Meanwhile, underground
Naive pioneers rot
Corpses rancid
Decomposing with their ideals
Fantasies of a sustainable future
While clay nations burn coal
And exhaust disease rapes us all
Civilizations wait to fall
Machines running off fumes
As crowds linger, idle
Gilled citizens smiling doom
Breathing liquid melancholy
Victims and volunteers
Of the anaesthetic apocalypse
Aware of their predicament,
Yet utterly oblivious
Still, the deep sea divers persist
Astronauts of the psyche
Floating unnoticed
Between vacant gaze
Invisible placards
Voices, smothered by democracy
They chant silent behind masks
Like men talking to fish
Muffled alien sounds
Bubbles, movement
Nothing...
