[hometext] => Bear with the length.
[bodytext] => Of this world and mine The similarities disgust me. Distinct disconnection from those unfamiliar Mixed in whole With the consuming disregard Of any respect, any faith In the humanity I have known. The value of any given individual With whom a characterless intimacy Is shared in a one-sided falsehood Gains enough momentum and force To shatter in an inescapable tragedy. Priorities shift by the moment As bitterness delivers lies Wrought with a fresh cynicism, telling That not one connection Between those who claim to love Has a worth that approaches The numbness of modern existence All this thought As physical space loses its features Once intriguing, once alive Each face losing its human value The spoken sounds Given just enough attention To discourage doubt and worry As internal versions cycle and fade This is all of reality quantified Defined in zero sums Of motions practiced, and emotion displaced Burnt in fullness by the sun During the summer of extremes Showing just what I have become I am no longer a man of decency Of principles or pain I cannot see the suffering of others I am everything I hate, Or remember hating Yet I am the way the world works.
