I’m a degenerate
Ignorant and illiterate
I can’t type without a spell checker
I can write emails but not a letter
My handwriting is illegible
And my vocabulary is negligible
Can’t survive without Internet
My dear saviour is Autocorrect
A tablet, computer, or a phone
I need one or else I’m prone
I need a translator and text to speech
To keep my online news in easy reach
We outsource our opinions
Like obedient little minions
Welcome to the digital age
Welcome to the digital plague
Are we even whole anymore?
Or are we less than before?
Decay and death are the only law
It was what God once decreed
And since the ancient times till now
No soul from this decree was freed
We’re born, we live, we multiply
We invent cars and learn to fly
But if we ever decide to try
To break the law, to never die
The earth shall withhold
And heavens, deny
And so above, and so below
We’re all but seaweeds in an undertow
Our wills can’t resist the ruthless flow
You can’t control what you can’t bestow
Our lives are feathers flying to
A wall of steel, they can’t go through
It’s time to die and rejoin the queue
Of all the dead awaiting
The thing you’ll ask on your deathbed:
What righteous path did I ever tread?
Was my life worth this blood I shed?
Or was I steered and misled?
‘Cause no one will die in your stead
Your life will hang by a single thread
And all the tears you left unshed
Will now demand retribution
You’ll live the nightmare you always dread
And in that moment, inside your head
Your raving thoughts will seethe and spread
Today the madness you shall wed
You’ll offer your children, your every kid
The ones you raised, the ones you fed
To relieve the pain, you’ll bargain ahead
And after all was done and said
You will decay, you will be dead
شوفت عيونك لما بتفتح
ومسير عيني فى لحظة حتقفل
اول مَره و آخر مَره،
والدنيا تجارب كلها مُره
حارب و امشى، وكافح وإتعب
عايزك تنحت صخر وتكسب
اياك تسرق وإياك تنهب
خلى همومك كلها تهرب
كله فى وقته حييجى أوانه
وانت جبل فى سفوحه حرايق
لما نيران الهمة بتنشب
كافع وأتعب. عافر واضرب
انت المُهْر مصيره حيكسب
Blessed by anger
Blessed by fear
Blessed by hunger
Blessed to slumber
Blessed by thunder
To be torn asunder
Blessed to roam
Away from home
Blessed to wander
Blessed to witness
Blessed to wonder
Blessed by war
Blessed to soar
And destined to crash ashore
Blessed to fall
Blessed to crawl
And blessed be
My timely downfall
I know that pyre
I’ve once been burned and set afire
I won’t look up. I won’t aspire
Tantalising. A grave desire
I can feel the thorny brier
I can taste the electric wire
I can smell the burning tyre
Make it fierce and make it dire
I’m not here to garner ire
I’m here to walk into that fire
I feel the wind against my skin
As I fall towards my ender
It beckons and welcomes me like kin
All it wants is my surrender
Nothing will make up for my sin
Like the end of this pretender
The earth welcomes with a grin
With open arms. So fond and tender
I fall and sink into the bed of leaves
Gaia beckons, and Gaia believes
That every lost soul receives
What every lost soul once achieves
Every marauder that steals and reaves
And every soiled soul that thieves
Shall meet an end that it conceives
As Just an end as it perceives
Seven billion angry parasites
Fighting wars and getting in fights
They plan to fly to new heights
They plan to launch more satellites
They plan to sate their appetites
They plan to spread to new sites
Seven billion hungry gnats
Bringing wives and ugly brats
Bringing animals and their plants
Republicans and democrats
Soldiers and diplomats
Aristocrats and bureaucrats
They plan to build new habitats
In vacuum, you can build your dreams
In vacuum, there are no winning teams
In vacuum, you die from the tiniest seams
In vacuum, every ore gleams
In vacuum, everyone schemes
In vacuum, they can’t hear your screams
Make me plead
Make me cry
Make me bleed
Then let me dry
Stab that knife into my eye
Eviscerate me, make me fly
Launch my guts across the sky
Spread my ashes, let me die
Let me crawl
Into that body bag
Stuff my mouth
With a filthy rag
Let me rest, in this morgue
Leave my stiff body to sag
Decompose it, burn it down
Melt it down into slag
I don’t get no funeral
No respect, no folded flag
I’m just a roadkill
Without a name tag
Mein Gehirn ist schwer. Schlecht verdrahtet, mein Kopf
Es ablasst Dampf wie ein Schnellkochtopf
Es dreht sich wie ein Brummkreisel
Der Wahnsinn nahm meine Gedanken als Geisel
Ich möchte meine Gedanken zurückhaben
Sie wurden von mir abschaben
Aber das wird nicht passieren
Ich will neu programmieren
Here I go again
Opening google
Searching for my name
Thirsty for mentions
Thirsty for fame
Social media is to blame
They moulded us to seek acclaim
Supplied our need for validation
And to our time, they have a claim
Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter,
Instagram, Tiktok, whatever
Whore and make a duckface, lame
Take some selfies on the shitter
You’re gonna be stuck with it forever
After your thirty minutes of shame
Your dignity will no longer be the same
Anything for mentions, anything for views
Be digitally relevant, go on the news
Create a new meme, try to amuse
You’re a YouTuber, prank and abuse
Lie and slander, make an excuse
Beat a homeless person, light a fuse
Film some meth-heads licking your feet
Give them dough and they’ll act sweet
Put it on Instagram, on YouTube
All for a hook, all for a scoop
Let’s film a midget dance with a freak
With a violin track to make it more bleak
Bring in some strippers for teens that peek
Let’s make this freak-show more unique
I broke my skin with my teeth
I found bad things underneath
Demons with horns and teeth
Demons awaiting their release
I have to say my goodbyes
Before the time of my demise
Before I lose control
And my monsters start to rise
My demons lie in wait
Biding their time in debate
I won't take their bait
I won't let them sate
Their appetite to desecrate
'Cause everytime they ate
They grew at a prodigious rate
I won't channel this hate
I will set them straight
Before it is too late
I won't live this fate
