One by one
we fell into the wire
disconnecting ourselves
from humanity
and those that we considered...
the undesired.
Over time it was easier
to see the pain
with sicking disdain
they were after all...
just flashing faces
on gigawatt screens..
unreal images
or, so it seemed...
existing in far off places
these unknown faces
were replaced by airplanes...
vacations
to holy destinations
designer luggage, and wads of money
it was our land of milk, and honey.
We could live in the wire now
losing all desire
(When did this happen, and how?)
You see...
connecting with humans on any level
they were seen as unknown faces
living in these far off places...
they had long been replaced
by flashing campaign ads
spliced between...
the latest trends, and fads.
