Cardiac Arrest of the Nebula
April 25, 2013
Society is a greedy monster.
An alien who only wants
more,
more,
more.
Eating everything in it's wake.
Munching and snacking on the the
hopes and dreams of those who are different.
Shoving lost self-esteem and built up insecurities
down
it's
throat
leaving
a
trail
of
grease
down
it's
filthy
chins.
Eventually, this fat man will try to consume space itself.
When it's all gone
and he's floating along
the Milky Way,
a sharp pain
will
make
his
face
contort
in
a
hideous
silhouette.
There will be a cardiac arrest of the nebula.
It will die,
regenerate
and start anew.
