The drug of mankind that which numbs the soul to fulfillment and peace <br />As gas as ethereal as the gods yet is destructive to the earth and trees <br />It spreads in every form, word of mouth to contact with flesh and disease <br /> <br />We never fail commit suicide every minute of our lives <br />Until finally, we are reborn with the next sunrise <br />Passed down for generations, as no child fails to be desensitized <br /> <br />Our minds diluted by unsubstantial sensations <br />A desire satisfied and unsatisfied, labels 'drone' to inferior nations <br />Exponential cycle of have, have not, accelerates us to obliteration <br /> <br />Our soul sleeps as the boundless body shall endlessly crave <br />Killing for gold, man is but a violent and, selfish slave <br />Choking in our endless hunger, we burrow our own graves<br /><br />Wandering Scarlet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sleeping-gas/
