Baptism

it's biblical, they say
the way our world has decayed
trading passion for prozac
to ease the fear of the attack
within your mind; your mold
to be crafted and sold
to the bidder willing to pay
for your opinion and soul
we're all desensitized to disaster
so we can help the world burn faster
on fossil fuels and human blood
as the wars, fires, and floods
wash over us like a baptism
