Modern Sugar Sticks

Turning into a computer airhead with no eyes or mind
Compulsively flicking the switch bringing the monster to life
My eyes hurt
My hopes droop but I turn it on
and on
and on
Grab the hammer and smash it to bits
Do us all a favour
Sugar sticks to entertain us like children with their dollies
No use
No good
Keeping us from the truth
Further grist to the mill of our ignorance
Watch the sun and moon
and think nothing
no more
