A world so cruel
Brandishes me a fool
Uses me as a tool
And now I worship
The Gods of power
I pay my tax
To take just five
And relax
Watch a pixilated screen
To furnish my dream
Live as an imposter
Someone else's life I could foster
But as the smokescreen lifts
They disappear
My golden gifts
Now naked to a world
At first glance , weird,
Taught in the old days
To be feared
But here they do not punish
You are left alone to flourish
Grow wild with the land
On your own feet stand
Exist to experience, to enlighten,
And to purely exist
Authority looms
Yet autonomy blooms
Forever to fight
Forever to resist

So random yet
So precise
Just a device
A means to an end
No way to amend
Our lives in freeze frame
So take the blame
Live no longer in shame
Take responsibility
The burden you carry
Will one day
Set you free
Spare you from
This monstrosity
This global atrocity
Stand out from the crowd
Step away from the masses
Take part no more
In social and cultural clashes
And on the collapse
Sit back and relax
Watch the righteous despots
Fall crying and screaming
No mercy, no pity
Just a lifetime spent
Wasting and dreaming

The impatience of my patience
Impetuous instinct inspires the insipid, the dream of no colour
Intolerable ideas of individuality
Now defined in the shattered reflection of a frivolous fantasy
Just before
You take so much more
The benevolence of existence
Distracts us from the instance
And if it all ends
If all signs of hope are extinguished
Then all morality is relinquished
I shall not suffer, run for cover
I will not bow down to the knees of any other
I am resurrection , I am now free

Confused by the creativity
Submersed in its beauty
Choking on its inability
To simply slow, maybe freeze
The words maybe then
Could flow with ease
The reason would have  meaning
It wouldn’t feel like I was screaming
Drowning in the dire
Consumed by my fire

The rapids of the rain forest cut rigid streams into a rapidly receeding recollection
Acid burns as the wheel turns
A slow ebb of translucent trigonometry triggers the incomprehension
It wouldn’t feel like yesterday if tomorrow had gone so well
And if only today had a story to tell
Then the writing on the wall
Would not speak of a down fall

The words they merge
The ideas they purge
The mind you cleanse
Through this shattered lens
And as the end does begin
So my words shall be my sin
