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
