To the tuned-out lives

Existing only online

In the twitchy brains

Of like-minded

One-sided others

To the inarticulate doofuses

And hyper-opinionated

Moralists and debutantes

To every scumbag

Born with a bottle

In their mouth

And an ache

In their soul

Raise your glass

To another evening

Shot through the head

This one's for you

Would that we

would

memorialize

what we

would like

more of...

cause it's

thought that what

Thought

we emphasize

multiplies

thought

similar in kind

and aftershock

Then why

then

do we

not now

then

focus on

civil progress 'n

remember to

remember

the living

rights attained

Remember...

the future is still

unmemorialized.
