By Scott C. Kaestner
thoughts of the immortal
mortally wounded
bleeding to death
(in reality)
hands of the reaper
white knuckled
slashing his dagger
(in reality)
martyrs of the masses
punctured flesh
meeting their void
(in reality)
children of the damned
easily amused
distraction the policy
(in reality)
minds of the revolution
lost sanctuaries
locked down forever
(in reality)
dreams of the dreamer
mushroom clouds
upon empty horizons
(in reality)
i
can't
live
(in reality)
i
can't
die
(in reality)
i
can't
lie
(in reality)
awake now
i am
reality
(no more)
