Implicit in these lives of plenty is a hurting, a venting, world of contempt And implicit on these tongues of opinion is the sugary craving that drools its consent Such a fertile continent, such an orchard of ferment The intoxicating scent of rotting, fruity flesh It's a garden yielding everything except anyone's contentment If you can grow fat on the toxic harvest of this culture You'll probably thin out on the subsequent depression that ensues Until all of that which you come to know is malignant Just becomes a contention that you must prove Implicit is the ambient decay, the prancing malice of each "first world" day And implicit is the collective shame in looks away from the TV-frame of the charade
