Siren Reign

Crude Awakening, Burning Man 2007

Apocalypse NOW

the end is here. what now?

Sirens reign
under thick black smoke
apocalyptic glow,
orchestra of fire –
"play death more sweetly".

Swallowing chaos
truth serum mainlined
into fear soaked veins
antiseptic idols forsaken –
dig the grave deeper this time.

Desperately crawling
through blank tomorrows
clinging doubtfully
to a false paradigm –
inscribing our own epitaph.

Deceit. Waste. Disaster.
Contaminated breath.
Bellies full of unrest, Sizzling fury.
Fear. Fear. Fear –
Purge. Detoxify. Reclaim.
