the world Watches
as you drink your beer and
as you feed the scraps of the day
to the only company that will
Listen
to your Moaning
and your Grievances.
(but, as the world watches you,
SOMEONE forgot to watch the world.
so you watch. as it erupts. into chaos
and decomposes into filth and trash even
lower than it already was.
but the world still Watches you.)
