Fictions are becoming real,
Realities fantastic.
Mr. Smith’s they come and go,
Within each spirit plastic.
Collectively they neutralize
Each other hand in hand,
Tyranny’s majority,
De Tocqueville’s reprimand.
"And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city." – Isaiah 1:8
Playing out your role,
Seeking transformation,
Sharing your control,
Surfing every station.
Actions of the group
Coming to consensus,
Morality in troops
Pleasing to our senses.
The cast, the mob is wired,
Armed with their pretenses.
Compromise desired,
Breaking down defenses,
Reality’s retired
As the play’s repeated,
Collectively, for all,
Everyone’s mistreated,
Corporate spirit guides
Facilitate the play
Steer the compromise
Little day by day.
Those anonymous,
Far away, conflicted,
Leave what’s real behind.
Hopelessly addicted.
Almost rights that steady fight
And nibble way foundations
Collective views that skew us through
With hollow expectations
When state’s declared supreme
Common we are cored,
With skin intact we’re steamed,
Hand in hand folk lured.
Sliced and saucedĀ in streams,
Sugared, then implored
To merge with men of means
Collectivized, adored.
A brotherhood it seems,
Is common at our core,
Where supermen alone
May only run the store.
Playing out your role,
Seeking transformation,
Sharing your control,
Surfing every station.

Collectively subjective
Choosing our placebo
Secret our objective
Re-inflate the ego
Dialogues ubiquitous
Right and wrong unmeasured
Compromised iniquitous
Weakness now is treasured
Progressively,
We tolerate, participate, we change our gate.
Progressively
Prolong our glance, accept the trance, we start to dance.
Progressively
We unify, deny the truth, accept the lie.
Progressively
Erased unlined, we self refine ’til un-defined.
