    The Apocalypse and... stuff

    Downbound

    We’ve dun goofed john

    FUBAR I judge

    The shit going on

    It’s all too much

     

    Bored and stressed

    I’m sandwiched in-between

    Musing in math

    Dealing with being fucking seventeen

     

    I never can seem to really care

    But god knows I want to do good

    To help you out with all your stuff

    And vindicate the terrestrial neighborhood

     

    Alas peace and possibility

    Seems to be a train we’ve missed

    Self-fulfilling prophecy

    In a sea of risen fists

     

    Dreaming ‘bout dropping out

    And never looking back

    ‘Cause frankly baby, I’m quite fed up

    With calling the kettle black

     

    We figure with faulty algorithms

    Reverse-engineering the universe

    These tired minds won’t analyze

    And I’ll tell you; it’s quite the curse

     

    And truth be told I’m rather terrified

    That I have no master plan

    Down a drink, why don’t I

    The weather’s great in the frying pan

     

    I don’t sleep too much and it shows

    Fighting nocebo with shampoo

    I have to get back to cracking jokes

    Not much else for me to do

     

    Chasing tail

    While hell freezes

    We come in peace

    And leave in pieces

    Ha ha I'm afraid narcissism is the narcotic of the new age, Stig. It won't always be that way, but it'll get worse before it gets better. Keep your eye on the "better" part. That's what I do (when nobody's looking, anyway). First class!

    **BRAVO** Now all you need is a chorus and you'll have one HELL of a hit song!! This is awesome! Love the line "The weather’s great in the frying pan"!

    Great turn of phrase as your climax. Maybe this is where you began.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
