We used to be creatures worth taking seriously Now our existence yawns in passive extinction We cut our own throats to feed the dead A relationship of convenience and stoicism Part animal, all parasite All bark and no bite Selfish and stingy is your existence Struggling with our lack of significance In front of you everyday, stare Though your eyes don't detect Your emptiness thrives on what you can't see And only your ignorance do you hide and protect They, who swallow their own tongues Choking on their own words, ideas To the ground on all fours we fall Forever sucking the dust of rotten maw
