We all strive
To be our best version
Of a perfect self

We all want
The perfect body
The perfect things
The perfect poems

But the funny
Thing is

It’s always
The quirk
The flaw
And
The ingenuity
That always stands out

-
the tempest rages
a storm is all it can be
nature is absolved
if you're not wholly yourself, you're only half something else

Control.
Global control.
War.
Technolgy,
the weapon.
Mindless.
Mindless control.
Navigating
the mind.
Surging
throughout.
World
on the run.
Under attack.
Folds of
the brain,
battlefield.
Constant attack
technology,
through technology.
Force feeding
fear, control.
Emotion,
shaping emotion.
Mindless hoards
absorbed,
****** in,
controlled.
Puppet master
technology shaping,
molding thoughts,
altering
the mind.
Subtle invasion.
Flowing through
the eyes
Into the soul.
Subtle invasion.
Full control,
nearing the
end.

Get back in your cage, Dorothy
Let nature observe
Let sharks encircle
Let random impulses
Bring toe-curling raptures
Upon your dreamy imprisonment

Tin, this cage
In which you dwell
Straw, this sky
From which it fell
The only road out of your anxiety
Requires swallowing a pill
As big as the heart of a lion

You want so desperately to leave
Just click your heels
And repeat three times
"There's no place like home"
Then floor it
When the light turns yellow
