This is what a boring economics class does to my mind.

In everything
I saw time decay.
In every rosy cheek,
rotten bone,
in every happy couple,
a lonely widow.
A sick joke
God played on my eyes;
A dead world
playing life like a hoax.
Invisible Hiroshima.
Slow motion, our skin melts.
World War Zero.
A trillion casualties.
To children songs,
we all fall down,
we all fall down,
we all fall down.
