Fill the heart with everything new
Leave no room for the old
Plastic smiles and vacant stares
Shadow what's left of a beauty once known.

Each fix a new promise of happiness now,
So leave the memories behind!
Discard your fears, and hold on to the hope
That a Brave New World will be waiting in kind.

Imagine a world where silence is gone
No awkward space between
Noise covers all and fills up the mind,
No need for your own voice to intervene.

Gone is the need to think for yourself
No longer does truth hold sway;
A world without broken hearts awaits,
A painless awakening at the break of each day.

Imagination captured by a bright silver screen
Flashing the lives of the famous
Lives void of rules, regulations and cares
Desire and freedom combine, now blameless.

A day will soon come when the cares of the world
Will no longer rest on the weary
Where pleasure will come with no painful price
In the absence of hindsight, seen clearly.

No longer the price to be paid for our wisdom
The media provides us the answers
The head and the heart are no longer at war
What possible fight lingers after?

After the knowledge is fed by the hand
Which now controls the soul
No longer a need for a mind of your own
When quietly, slowly, you gave up control.
