“Orc, Orc”

“Are you down with the sickness?” I didn’t

Like seeing that airport shooter sporting

A “Disturbed” T, like Manson with the Beatles,

Or even Marilyn Manson though he’s

Got a few good tunes. People checking out

To Metallica’s “Fade to Black.” What blame

Should the artists bear? Choose life. Even if

Sisyphus, choose the cyclical struggle.

Madness is a paradoxical gift.

Now, “Voices” may take things a little far.

Strange they should cover “The Sound of Silence.”

Or consider Weezer’s speaker saying

That his love is a “life taker.” And that’s

Not even touching rap music. Or film.

Memes make you think a certain way, but they

Can’t make you *do* as readily. Wut iz poetry?
