smother the children and
mourn their ghosts
we are all guilty here
we are all lined up
against concrete walls
and given blindfolds
and how much of your
life did you waste
waiting to be older?
how afraid are you now
of becoming obsolete?
wake up one morning and
suddenly being alive is
no better or worse than
being dead
