All Humans Too Late

But what’s to be done\nWhen the only way to defend ourselves\nFrom what we’ve created is to merge with it?\nWhat can be done to stay human?\nThe racist is drunk on the train\nThe racist is drunk on the internet\nThe racist is drunk at my dinner table\nShouting his gun shots and killing us all\nThey still live\nThose kind and their dead are still living\nAnd yes, the anger is rising, the fury\nThe which side are you on?\nThe when will the guilty be called to account?\nAnd what can we know of affection?\nI walk in these graveyard days\nAnd I watch how the pixels proclaim\nWhat they sell to be health food\nAnd we’re dead, all of me knows it\nWe should be preparing ourselves\nWe should be meeting the stages of death in our dreams\nNoticing all that we sense in a fond way\nAware that the ears and the taste buds\nWon’t work when the soul goes out\nWe should be down on our knees in the dirt\nDizzy in rocks, on coastlines, shivering\nWe should be fasting two days out of seven\nSleeping in shifts with the others who share our households\nTo make sure that, at all times, someone is up with the candle\nInstead, we are online venting our outrage\nTeaching the future that life is performance and vanity\nPost a quick death threat\nDrunk every evening\nSick from the radiated meat\nSucking on pork ribs and summoning pornography\nSo that we can cum when we fuck\nOur partners don’t know us\nOur families are strangers\nOur friends make us nervous\nThere is a well in the pit of the city that we dance around\nSucking and slime-banked\nWhatsApp group chat, beers in the sunshine\nBehind the noise, you can feel it\nThe heat from this well\nOur minds are racing into the dead\nWe hurl everything\nAgainst the stop of the blank hand that muffles the mouth\nBut we can’t win\n«I see how blind I’ve been,» said all prophets, too late\nAll humans, too late
