one year closer

it's about happy birthdays

One year closer to...

one wears a paper crown

while sweet clouds of decay sift swiftly

through gums and teeth.

One year closer

selfless selfishness, receiving

gifts from poverty when life is a gift in

harsh times.

One year closer

we hang creatures of brilliance only

to crush their souls.

We tear away vibrancy by beating them

with a weapon of darkness,

then devour its insides.

One year closer

people who dream are not yet ready

for whats to come.

We party, we f**k around and insert poison

by hydration.

We're fools because we're in bliss of getting

through a year, forgetting another in store.

One year closer

ignorance is bliss because one doesn't realize

the doom.

The torture of later year when you

fail to do whats needed.

We're all blinded by happiness and joy, and we don't care

until we realize..........

we are one year closer to death

happy f****n' birthday

Pow! That hit hard! lol
Ain't that the truth! Birthdays are too sugar coated! You have taken their real meaning and executed in a powerful and vivid manner!
Excellent!
