Burnout (Down Goes Frazier)

--

‘Burnout’ by: Viktors Svikis

The brain begins to short circuit

Synapses firing

Through a short circuit

Colors become muted

Output no longer computed

Lay

The whole day away

Another brain on layaway

Work

Please stay away

Psychological torture

Can’t ‘pay’ away

Mind manipulated

To illuminate

Use the night

To ruminate

Told to ‘just do’

Where’s the just due?

Low battery

Stay far from flattery

Searching for peace

More than salary

Peer groups

Enchanted by chattery

Even with power returned

No power to return

Not competitive

At a rat race

At that pace

Want to dive through

A black hole

Backpack space

Visit the expanse

All of a sudden

Imagination expands

No sound

No one around

Process of recalibrating

Expounds

Always

Everyone’s support system

Faulty wiring

Can no longer support system

Close the box

Housing styrofoam

Unknown destination

Mind separation

Headed to roam
