SIN LUX

crystal jewels adorn the chaise lounge, my psych stares into my eyes trying to find light there instead finds, rubies from the blood of my ancestors who died in the rice fields, slaving for the golden horde the pyramids had opened for em, delirium from the perfume scented, made hysteria our usual methods, for survival. In a new world where the new divine rises from the muses, the beautiful creatures that came from cursed bloodlines. Made you think, when you were puking designer on the 24 karat sink, and your agent was screaming through the phone, telling you to sleep with the director, or your acting career is gone. Ruby earrings on the albino Statuesque even in plainclothes Plain vogue, picture perfect poses Even camera shy to euphoria hypnosis Dreaming of death with vanilla cigarettes Gilded coffins hoisted in front of glass pyramids Camera flashes from cherry lips Lip gloss left on the dinner table Diamonds bracelets worn on ankles Contacts of the amber hues Magnets to the rich and talentless If she dies, will she be buried with designer heels? Eulogies read by the wannabe Warhols All in attendance would cry crocodile tears While paparazzi capturing essence in the flesh Where the albino eyes are tinted red and the soul is Ang pangarap na binigay ng diyos, gintong utak, ginawang manghuhula mga batang nanlilimos para mabuhay lang bukas, nakakaiyak Make no mistake, we won’t hear your tears over the commercial break, the tragedy of fame, gasping for air but you’re too scared of the audience perception, I walked hand in hand with the narcissistic, planted flags on the obscure emotions, this is our legacy, drowning from the weight of generational massacre, taking our humanity, and we still feel the pain today as each pill is laced with a promise from the cross carriers of velvet hues, corporats living to profit off of you.
