The Alienation Club

When your waking world has become a nightmare

When it seems you’re living in the devil’s lair

Trying hard to find someone who genuinely cares

Caught in a bear trap you’ve been ensnared,

Few things you’ve done for others will ever be remembered

Like a corpse in an unmarked grave dismembered

You’re the fatalistic agent they nicknamed “November”

You’re part of the Alienation Club, an unwitting member,

You’re searching for someone or something to live for

It seems like so many would prefer you remain on the floor

My what black magic does life have in store?

Perhaps you won’t be able to accept what comes through that door,

I was born for another time and era

Afraid that I ventured too deeply into the caldera

In my dreams chased by a chimera

I remember vaguely her name was Sarah,

In another life long ago I did not even belong here

Although the universe wouldn’t shed a cosmic tear

They say, “Pick yourself up better get in gear.”

I look and see a witch hunt in the mirror,

No candy coated dreams of frosted hair

No dedicated angel always waiting there

Someone to save me with a sordid affair?

No thanks, got my own cross to bear,

The green fireballs came again today

They’re not taking prisoners what can I say?

Doctor Lincoln La Paz said they’re not meteors anyway

Then one commanded me not to move and stay.
