Blackout Wake up with a gun in your hand
or a knife
pen
microphone
TV camera
live feed
over a corpse
damage is done
draw it in chalk
write with a stone
Cordon the area
Mine it with bombs
Wrap it in tape, yellow and black
Whose side are you on?
No one knows
No one cares
It’s kill or be killed
Darwin and Moses
Pope, prince and king
the ratings are up
they’re starting to sing
gently we slip
deep into her breast
the madness of dreams
sleep without rest
Hush, hush don’t you cry
It’s time to black out
Black out and die
