We talk a lot and said have plenty,
Who cares enough that our towns are empty?
*consequential distraction*
We eat enough of our words to puke,
And wait for the dirtiest hand to nuke.
*consequential protraction*
No heroes here, so wait for the end.
All things will settle, once we've drowned our friend.
*consequential destruction*
Then we stop, fall silent.
All minds are quiet.
