'Drunk on Reality'

Self-delusion wrapped in a lie,
you can pretend,
pretend and hide.

Ice melts in the cold light of day,
washed in a basin,
choose to ignore and choose to obey.

Only theories where we once craved,
drenched in repulsive light,
trust in the waters where you bathed.

Hate is too common for us to intake,
fractures in your “social bliss”,
tension like this will soon break.

You can’t escape any of this idiocy,
listen to the voice,
then wash away in the sea.

Pieces of eight in your vendor,
greed got the better of you,
only half-written notes will you send her.
