Dancing the Darkness Fantastic

 

Take your emotional detachment
and clip it to my apathy

Let's join indifferent forces
and dance the dance 
of the don't give a damn

Screw this unforgiving light
blinding we creatures

of perpetual night

Mambo in protective shadows
that ask for neither commitment
nor useless judgements
from us oblivious inhabitants

Just us you and I
cheek to cheek
basking in this glorious eclipse
of blissful ignorance

It should be plain to see

by those below

envious of who we are

that we are the stars

of the chosen aristocracy

that rejects their insistence

that we bother participation

in their tiresome arguments

for the useless purpose

of fixing their mundane existence

Why can't these damn peasants

just shut up and die already

while we sway to the rhythm

that comes attached

to our shameless privilege
