Systematic Enlightenment

Systematically, I drink

To the monstruous lies

And the creepy looking spies

Under my window

I toast the return

Of the body snatchers

Hoping they get here in time

To fix the next fucker in line


To the disturbances in waiting

Alight in the shadows

I drink to my privacy

Being raped and to

The reality of rat poison

Being prescribed as blood thinner

Systematically,  I drink

To the lack of feeling

And this excess of reasoning


To brain tumors from cellphones

I drink joined at the hip

With famillies adopting

From foreign lands

Sawed-off shotguns


It is utterly systematic

That I tilt and indulge

Yet the cup is forever full

While meteors streak

Abused children shreak

Under seven separations

Called human religions

Life is anything but fair

Not fair at all, some say


So, systematically I drink

To the power

Of positive binging

And to the blood

Crawling up your

TV screen tonight

There are times when

I scream sometimes basta!

But mostly

I just pour another drink.
