Kane Smith
A slow suicide called life and state sanctioned.
It is the condition of the carceral society.
Paranoia has become a proper state of mind.
And there's a despot around the corner.

Omnipresent surveillance.  Society of control.
The cattle are guided by passageways like electrons in a closed circuit to the killing floor.

Exchange market value of currency against convenience.
The stock that won't drop.
However, liberty and security are not interchangeable in a war machine that never stops.
The first line is borrowed from Nietzcshe's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". The second line is inspired by Jean Beadrillard ("Simulacra and Simulation"). "Societies of Control" is a concept of Gilles Deleuze.

In this society
of souls from the millennium
Invigorated by validation
Drugged only skin-deep
With toxic actions and words
And prices ruling like
A silver-spoon-fed princess
The value of an individual
Plunges deep into the depths
Of the shallowest mirror-like pools

I can only sigh
As I sit in this new class
Alongside new faces
And the absence of the professor
I think of refunding my expensive tuition fee
When I pay my utmost attention
To everything around me
It was my first day of class for my final semester in uni, and apparently, the professor did not arrive. So i spent close to php500 today, in vain. What a life. I can only hope the professor is good enough that I'll be able to learn from them.

Infamous one
Eye contact engaged in one another
Trading personal stories
Communication to connect with one another
Being able to share yourself with another being
Mental stimulation can lead to better phyiscal
Being yourself helps no reason to lie
Overcome the fear of being judges
Why be fake in the end someone gets cheated

I need to be forgiven
I need to know you
accept my apology
That you can
forget my ambiguity

I must be forgiven
I must feel that
nothing has changed
That you can
ignore my demand

I can't go on
unless forgiven
I can't live with
that look in your eyes
That look of
wondering why

Please forgive what
I've just said
Please can't we go
back to like it was
before I lost my head

— The End —
