The people have become vermin like hungry termites hiding and infesting old rotten knotholes in the cracked foundations of the apartment building They are like the cockroaches who disappear suddenly when the kitchen lights come on gone To live in the vacancies left behind by rats why did the rodents flee? the place was too run down the ship sinking too slowly why should they stay? An entire planet of scum and decay a planet of hopes and dreams long since faded away into the void of obscurity The lease is up and the angry landlord is waiting the moment you leave the locks will change and you have lost your keys anyway Now we are all waiting for the day when it is washed clean and the world becomes a new precious investment
