The State of the Nation

Sexless Architects
Atheists allergic to incense
Roman roundabout spins along the lost papyrus

What started this virus?
Look at the shape we’re in,
Latchkey kids at your door, throw ‘em a bone to
Stew around

There’s a big wet blanket over us
Airwaves cluttered
Making it hard to breathe
