I have lost the Real
It has decayed, been slowly eaten by moths
But maybe I never even had it
Maybe it was lost long ago
Maybe the birth of Man was the death of reality
Man worships the simulacrum, he always has
They tell you we need oxygen, water and food
But that's a lie. We need only one thing
********
Truth and falsity are merely words, empty concepts
Twitter and condoms are all we have now
And we revel in it
We take the oath, sacrifice our first-born
Archimedes said if you gave him a place to stand he could move the world
When have we ever had a place to stand
