The numbing is not (the numbing's not)
It isn't, not working anymore

The numbing is not working anymore
An unfillable hole
An insatiable state of consumption (systemic)
Assigned trajectory (extortion)

Greed is an unfillable hole (insatiable)
Avid the fear of death
Thirsty is the fear of death (there is no way)
We can't eat our way (out of it)
We can't drink our way out of it no more

The juncture invites us to provide care (palliative)
Dying modernity
While offering antenatal care for the inception
Of the new yet undefined future

That holds the prospect for greater wisdom
