Age of Iniquity

The dead city of men
Rises against a blackened sky
Rancid cancerous flesh
The scent of decay where afflicted lie
Radiation —
The blaze of sun shears through the clouds
Ripping torment —
In polluted wastes mutations abound
Soul-sick men, barred from reason
Perverted beyond consciousness
Deranged, no longer rational
Deluded fools filled with ignorance
Animal instincts
Irreconciled with mental constructs
Dual existence
Entangled in self-conflict
Immersed in sickness
I scream my disgust in a deafened void
Overcome with weakness
Stifled by the poison of corporate lords
Driven into deprivation
Tortured son of a bastard nation
Unrestrained industrialization
Self assures destruction
Trapped in a colossal labyrinthine citadel
All else has ceased to exist
Frenzied, frantic, violent, panicked
Succumbed to hopelessness
