Born like this into this
As the chalk faces smile as Mrs death laughsAs the elevators breakAs political landscapes dissolveAs the supermarket bag boyHolds a college degreeAs the oily fish spit out their oily preyAs the sun is masked we areBorn like this into thisInto these carefully mad warsInto the sight of brokenFactory windows of emptinessInto bars where people no longerSpeak to each otherInto fist fights that endAs shootings and knifings born into thisInto hospitals which are so expensiveThat it's cheaper to dieInto lawyers who charge so muchIt's cheaper to plead guiltyInto a country where the jails areFull and the madhouses closedInto a place where the massesElevate fools into rich heroesBorn into thisWalking and living through thisDying because of this muted because of thisCastrated debauchedDisinherited because of thisFooled by this used by thisPissed on by thisMade crazy and sick by this made violentMade inhuman by thisThe heart is blackenedThe fingers reach for the throat the gunThe knife the bombThe fingers reach toward an unresponsive godThe fingers reach for the bottle the pillThe powderWe are born into this sorrowful deadlinessWe are born into a government60 years in debtThat soon will be unable to evenPay the interest on that debtAnd the banks will burnMoney will be uselessThere will be open and unpunishedMurder in the streetsIt will be guns and roving mobsLand will be uselessFood will become a diminishing returnNuclear power will be taken over by the manyExplosions will continually shake the earthRadiated robot men will stalk each otherThe rich and the chosen willWatch from space platformsDante's Inferno will be made toLook like a children's playgroundThe sun will not be seen andIt will always be night trees will dieAll vegetation will dieRadiated men will eat theFlesh of radiated menThe sea will be poisonedThe lakes and rivers will vanishRain will be the new goldThe rotting bodies of men and animalsWill stink in the dark windThe last few survivors will be overtakenBy new and hideous diseasesAnd the space platforms willBe destroyed by attritionThe petering out of suppliesThe natural effect of general decayAnd there will be the mostBeautiful silence never heardBorn out of that the sun still hidden thereAwaiting the next chapter
