Peeking Buffet

What type of fountains
do you drink from?

What sort of kicks
do you thirst after?
 
sip freely
greedily
wantonly

Some wish for a taste of grace
and groove with the holy spirit

while the rest suck dry
the blood of innocence

and so we find ourselves here
with morality mortally wounded

such are the consequences that come
with a collapsing civilization

You should have cared at least one lick
while we all tried to warn
about the slowly gnawing cancer
growing in our midst

now the body poli-tick is a big fat tumor
and that’s just a bummer

but what the hell
are you going to do
in this modern age
of decadence and detachment?
