lulled
by luxury
dulled
by desire
cushioned
and cushy
styled
in safety
life
pales as sense recedes
past,
present, future
form
fractured fiction
of
false fabrication
as
fragmented facts
forge
phony futures
lives
fritter away
power
leaks out of being
shameless
shallow selfishness
suck
away substance and soul
in damned doomed denial
