Living our days in the time
of manufactured urgency;
this forgery of progress
in a society that feigns cleverness
through cheap clones
of human labor.
A fleet of soldiers unwittingly defending
a system designed to kill them ultimately.
This whole facade of advancement
at the cost of worsening
our state of mind,
disabling our senses, robbing us
of the right to think for ourselves
with fake consent.
A system that chips away at our boundaries
one reasonable clause at a time.
Forgive me but I do not understand,
why resort to soulless transactions
when there is so much of life
to be lived?
When there are plenty of hearts
to draw from?
Is it not clear to you how
they force us to drink poison
while depriving us
of the water that affirms life?
Is it not visible to you how
you are sinking into a black hole,
willingly throwing your hands
up in defeat?
One day, you will look
behind the facade
and wish
it wasn’t too late.
