From Autumn to Ashes Short for Show

I'm not here to discount
the opiate of masses,
but I've learned so much more
attend lectures and classes.
Through verbal disection,
ideas are in suspension.
We crash like criminals
in bed with loss prevention.

We move when they say
and beg for shit that we
will never ever need.
So keep the receipt!

We've become the children
of paralyzed ambition,
a fraction less human
dining in modern kitchens.
Prepackaged warmth with a
touch of your personal flair,
arrested emotion,
wax poets with a cold stare.

Don't you
try to tell me
that your life
feels empty!
