SHIMMERING ENTROPY
Freshman whiz kids quest
Monarch of his capricious commonwealth
Befuddled contradictions
Bong hit visceral wisdom
Jell-O mold of shimmering entropy
He wobbles to and fro
Habitual adaptation
Unstable dovetail matrix
Banal dose of brusque subliminal tremors
Gelatinous root discord
Abruptly spawned combustion
Molten chain reaction
As ashes merge with blood
Altered states denouement
Once a tasty treat
Proud and filled with passion
Top shelf Bonne Bouche
Such a tearful twist of fate
Morbid tale of brutal self destruction
His highness lay in state
Trampled on the lunchroom floor
“You're the Emperor's new horse You don't smell like a rose So you take more drugs than me Specialize in being unhappy Like a moth into the flame Yeah, I've been burnt before Lets rub his ashes on my skin And someday we will win,
Being angry is your game Overdosing's part of fame So you read all this french symbolist poetry You don't even get it on the fucking BBC I don't really care no more Boring out the door I don't know what's true It don't affect you That's right damn lies above
In this time There are those who rob us blind
Bring on the new meat”
