The Machine (Part II)

Entertained and captivated,
Preordained, encapsulated,
Trained to sit still

Hooked on lies, intoxicated
Their poor reality elevated
Spoon-fed what they will

Drawn to a pattern
they call society
Living on crumbs
of consensus reality
Will we ever break free?

All equations calculated
Destinies asphyxiated
A life unseen

Individuality uncreated
All potential mitigated
By the machine

They trained us to
dream their dreams
Espouse their lies
and fit their themes
Will we ever break free?

(We can only break free if we tear it down . . .)

Stolen

Trust, the most illusory of conditions, is rained upon by the blows of a violation, left reeling, unglued, unscrewed and unable to rebound. It isn’t what was revealed (for I am not ashamed of either my words or my actions) but that it was revealed before its time . . .

You must now live with this revelation.

I must now live without my words.
