Them

Sheep, we sleep
in our pens at night, unaware
of the Big Money; silently
they spin the world, can't you see? 

it's the Apocalypse; venom drips
from the fangs of the Beast of Zion.
Atomically, twice already -
two Japanese towns turned to zombies.

Leviathans, let them overrun,
let our brains dream that Technicolor.
Clamp this hologram
of Vicodin thoughts that leave me happily number.

I would rather be dumb, numb;
Than be awakened and aware
of our imaginations of emancipation.
Reality is too much to bear.
