Braincell Genocide

I've a desire for an exploratoric migraine,

Worming through the invalid flesh,

A passion for showering in acidic rain,

I'm certain a lobotomy would refresh



My thinking and make it clear to see,

I mistrust you all, dislike you all,

Its true, i'm consumed with misanthropy,

Stemming from the nuclear demon refusing to finish his fall



From the tree of woe centred in a wasteland of bones,

To the river of tears flowing through the shells,

Of deformed, desolate defaced homes,

Rebuilt to form shelter from the world turned to periods of hell



On earth Mr. Barker once bloodily and creatively said.

We visit graves, drop colourful waste into water filled pots,

We wash the stone with our salty tears just for the dead,

Then we go home and spend the rest of the day our stomach in knots,



But we do not experience the same thing for the stranger,

We do not really care when we see disaster on tv,

Its just entertainment, similar to a child in a manger,

We witness no reaper, nor do we cry at the sight of a wailing banshee,



We laugh at images of death and destruction with glee,

Blood soaked movie stars, faked burns, waxy scars,

That can later be washed off to reveal a champion of the 'tele',

Then the audacity and hypocrisy to demostrate passion for the stars



We just vitriolically witnessed the deceasement of.

I read this poem because it reminds me of a conversation with a townie/stripehead/boring person. May I recommend this as the ultimate anaesthetic for a self-administered lobotomy. After ten-minutes of

you will be happy to smash your brains out on the nearest hard object.

I liked the rhythm, the clever rhyme, or perhaps more accurately, the non-tacky use of either. I found your poem sensitive and funny- kikass! I am slightly confuzzled as to the meaning, of all of it, however, but I think that's a good thing.
