Gone Are The Days.

Gone are The Days.
___________
Hope is lost
for starlit skies,
and soft beams
that served as
backdrops to
The Sunrise.

Take this Cup
that Runs Red
With Madness!
(Live in your
Artificial Pardise.)

How to Kill
a Killjoy?...
Two drops
of Love, one
razorblade,
and an eternity
of Silence.

See how much
Smiley Pete Smiles
now!
(without his cartoon
world of Violence.)

Gone are the
Days when Men
were Men.
When People
laughed because
something was
Funny and not
Dying.

Gone are the Days
I Cherished in Youth.
(and they're never
coming back again.)

Gone is my ability
For Crying.
