The Land of Mars Bars is Melting...

Dreamers calculating,
Blood coagulating, 
Coconut milk rivers , 
The opium forest quivers,
Naked leprechauns shiver,
Quasi - artificial flowers,
& Highlighter showers

The Martian spontaneously combusts,
The Stapler Snake spontaneously rusts

The neon mushroom grottos,
Defile the honest man’s mottos,
The sky is a self- destructing sculpture,
This life is a self-destructing culture
Circling vultures,
The girls with tesla - coil eyes,
Crawling with decaying creatures
Crawling with reconstructing features

No more organic fluctuations,
Just Mortality’s petty pervasions,
Give in to eternal life’s potential,
Relax you don’t need a credential

Hear the chords of polyphony,
Experience life in a Beethoven symphony.
Hypnotic toil
Pollute the sacred soil

The robots are contemplating,
Poison is transmuting,
Gray matter streams,
The petrified jungle of keratin,
Naturally - occurring gasoline

The Land of Mars Bars is melting,
and we’re only helping...
