i.
we have lost carpe diem to the
empty echo of hollow words
it is time to reconstruct ourselves
and learn to live and love explosively


ii.
we have learned to take for granted
and forgot to give ourselves fully
let's string axes above our heads and
live to learn we'd give our lives tomorrow


iii.
we must rid our skulls of the frivolous
lyrics to anachronistic lullabies and
replace them with the sounds of marches
i sleep better with a bullet through my head


iv.
they have forgotten the boom-snap-clap
pattern of our strictly-idealistic words
when i was kissed there were hints of
napalm flavors to assure me we had entered realism


v.
tomorrow you would give and they would take
your life; tonight you seized your day and
sung me lullabies while promising that they
were only going to help you get some sleep</i>
entry twenty.one for the hundred themes challenge

this is entertainment
li[v]es are entertainment
you are down on your knees
begging me for more
- innerpartysystem ; don't stop


i really don't like this one :/

next: theme twenty.two - mother

previous: theme twenty - fortitude
