Don’t blink.
You’re watching the latest in entertainment technology.
That’s right; smile.
Isn’t this everything you’ve ever wanted?
Virtual seduction
By a hologram of today’s hottest celebrity;
Get high on drugs
Without ever poisoning your obese body;
Mindless violence
To make you feel like an action hero;
A thousand different worlds
To make you forget your failures in this one.
The price? Well...
The price is something even the poorest can pay.
In scientific terms
You could say that you’re paying nothing.
Give us your soul
Or you’ll miss all we have to offer.
We promise
To shock you until you can be shocked no longer,
Until you live
In a prison of fulfilled desires and sated lusts.
All hope is gone
Because there’s nothing left to feel,
Except perhaps
The great mystery of death.
Now blink.
Close your eyes to the boring spectacle.
Take the razor,
Slide it across your sun-starved wrist.
Just remember
To leave us everything in your will.
After all
We made you who you are today.
Did God
Ever show you vomit in 3D high definition?
Did Jesus
Ever scream profanity in your ears?
Embrace nihilism:
Nothing is everything and everything is nothing.
Laugh with us
At the pointlessness of love and family.
Smile, child of paradise,
Just close your eyes and let the blood flow.
Wait a minute!
What do you think you’re doing?
Stop ripping
Out the wires that connect you to us!
You’re ours!
What is heaven compared to this?
Zzzztttt!
