Sacrifice
Time for dimes

Sacrifice
My soul for gold

Sacrifice
sanity for my vanity

Sacrifice
Self-respect
For the authenticity effect

Ask yourself a question
The source of indiscretion
Capitalist intention
Rate, comment, mention

Sacrifice

Freedom for acceptance
Calm for incandescence
Raging hot depletion
Message needs deletion

Sacrifice

Truth for mental comforts
Food for licorice allsorts
Grass for all we have bought
My eyes for what I’ve been taught

See yourself a vision
Beyond the car collision
There never was a mission
Beyond fuelling indecision

Dawdling procrastinator who loiters idly, lingering on the relaxing diversions of a life half lived. When not half asleep, I write, make music and art.
