Suicide by First Amendment
It’s all been
too much -
...caging
push for masking
assassins on the news
Wall Street makes
people jump
from windows
Main Street got burned down
smashed glass on the streets
Just enough stimulus check
to drink yourself dead
Or buy a Chinese invention
to fire cheap unending dreams
made of lead
into your head
Better yet
take that
tortured fire
pouring throughout
your veins
and release it
through your
witness instead
So what if they kill your body
the deal you were living for
is already dead
