Living in a parallel dream

With my companion, a muffled scream

Everything far from how it seems

All the toxic schemes.

Unleashed without my permission

Must have been my lack of intuition

Must be my premonition

Released upon my own fruition,

The lost sound of yesterday

Echoing cries of beasts of prey

I know you’ll never come back to stay

Don’t want to relive how you went  astray,

In a world that encourages injustice

What is wrong has become bliss

A few moments of escape are priceless

What happens next is anyone’s guess,

The Jeanie is out of the bottle now

Just as the worship of sacred cows

Honest work measured in rusted plows

For a day of infamy let’s take a bow,

Your throat is dry and your heart beats fast

Fragile souls weren’t meant to last

Be careful or you’ll be haunted by the past

I fear a massive evil spell has been cast.
