Woe to the Conquered

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
