Wroughten Away lyrics

So thin-skinned, this comedian

Teetered between real and illusion

A place where the senses prove false

Where reason is befuddled

And emotions then run wild

Here a begotten mistake befalls

Here the brink of anonymity lies

Self extermination in an instant

A precipice, its gravity inviting

Its finality not truly known

This ode to a giving soul

Bound in the fragilities of his kind

Now but a grey-toned guest

In a world of only two dimensions

Vanishing in an instant action

It is hard to walk in the world of man

Harder still in that faceless one

Where their conduct unchecked

Can bring devastation to the meek

And antagonize the conscientous

Comments bang like hail on tin

Denying, disrupting serenity

Stealing, smothering given gifts

Efforts lost in buffaloing bantor

Success succumbs to failure

What of The Golden Rule?

Lost, in a land of pseudonyms

A circus of critical circuitry

Gritted teeth notifications

A forum fed by forceful fools

What incentive is there to create

What wonder is there to work

Do likes, thanks, ratings erase

The reality of discourteous concern

Where is human dignity now?
