An endless sequence of tragedies,
existence is not only this.

Headlines aren't reality,
just spinning sensationalizations.

Where villains are gods and
in fear is how we should live.



Marketed fantasylands of
pharmaceutical false-smiling bliss.

Utopia is a delusion, even when
on the most magical medications.

An endless sequence of tragedies,
existence is not only this.



Obsessing about health is unhealthy,
a macabre self-absorbing abyss.

There must be something wrong with you!
(mantra of dramatizations)

Where villains are gods and
in fear is how we should live.



Remember it is possible and even
likely that nothing is amiss.

Civilization as we know it is doomed!
(obnoxious exaggerations)

An endless sequence of tragedies,
existence is not only this.



Media can transmit great art and good,
but know what to dismiss.

Some use it only as a means
to amplify their fabrications.

Where villains are gods and
in fear is how we should live.



Things have not gotten worse,
they just find where the worst is.

Somehow overlooking millions of
good people in peaceful locations.

An endless sequence of tragedies,
existence is not only this.

Where villains are gods and
in fear is how we should live.

wonderfully torn
mistaken, forlorn


old past and new future
both presently scorned


all graciousness pondered
vivaciousness, squandered


would asking a question
be too much to ask?


though I haven’t any
so alters the task


now do bask as one
in the seas of the many
but relinquish your mask
