Light up the Fuses!

I thought the world was going to explode in 1974.
Job hunting seemed senseless.
Having children even more.
So I drank and I drifted
and did one night whores.

Now I am old
Living with 7 billion people
Light up the fuses boys!
That manys not needed.

You do an excellent job of conveying a "drifter mentality". Very powerful piece.

we've got the arsenal, they've got the money, but it's all going in the other pockets.
isn't there something you can put in the water?
reduction by attrition?

Thank You Mr. Abuelo.
I'll have to check out one of your books.
I seem to be in the same head space as you are.
