Dragon Slayer

A darkened tomorrow is looming
my eyesight has failed
old habits die hard, like you said

Ignorance is a poison so sweet that we drool

apathy, a drug that seeps from selfish minds
pouring off our tongues
bleeding through my bad dreams

The killer is that blood-sucking leech

hemorrhaging us all to death
rotting to decay, 
I shiver at the chill of those long dead

We are living beneath sterile expectations

here lies man, raised harmless and held in check
that system wears each one of our faces
and it smiles as it tears each beating heart out

you can't fathom my disgust

my consuming hatred for lying lips
