Plastic
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
Without Truth, love, a morality a code.
Man is but a despairing beast.
An energy forever dissipating
Denied the doors to brotherhood,
they gather on the fringes.
Verbose but without a voice
middle age delinquents.
Hollywood done us in
our hero's are made of plastic.
Now we dream into screens
and smother our screams
and everything just FANTASTIC.
