Fluorescent uplit lights Throws no shadows Shows no life No vestiges therein Monitors' frontward glow Radiates no future, no past Well lit death No matrix destination The rows and cubes behold A conformed neatness An oppression A regime built against creation The soul flutters above Unseen but seeming To hold life The inexorable dullness of life

Modernity
Fluorescent uplit lights Throws no shadows Shows no life No vestiges therein Monitors' frontward glow Radiates no future, no past Well lit death No matrix destination The rows and cubes behold A conformed neatness An oppression A regime built against creation The soul flutters above Unseen but seeming To hold life The inexorable dullness of life
Had to write this while sitting in my office trying to find the beauty in modern things.
