rand

the veils of the world

obscure us in space

as reality swirls

the truth hides its face

the news says it's time

so it gathers as winds

free speech is a crime

we welcomed all of this in

from the storm on an eve

cattle sated and fat

we'll consume all belief

we'll eat this, we'll eat that

and flying fair in a dream

at impossible heights

we're transcending the seams

and the pale putrid blight

the one can still transcend

by sheer weight of will

the focus spirit sends

to rise before we fall ill

weighing down on ideal

Atlas bearing the weight

the task before us is real

excel before it's too late

now passion and purpose are veiled

linear paths unto more

while our ancestors once wailed

against such oppressive doors

what was the logical point

if there's any at all

if not to fully disjoint

the herd before the fall

the one is absently marked 

truant to mean and all its needs

prodigiously unremarked

amid channels the system feeds

unto unavoidable unbecoming

unto this fated dross

unto sickening and soulful numbing

amid such collectivist loss

as if they even care

to acknowledge the day

the cold distant stare

connection slipping 

away
