Why bother...

Why do you bother
with those who are dead
Why do you bother
with those who're mislead
Why do you keep them
so close to yourself
Why do you feed them
with flesh from yourself

Why...why...why...why...why,...

Strange Days,
strange people,
strange eyes
spying on me
feeding from me
killing me

Shut up...and shut down...
they said

I want to hear
the last poem
of the last poet...
