<\/p>\n

years of broken circumstance
\nohh how the faithful compose
\nslanted stories
\nwith lips kissed
\nby disparity<\/p>\n

disavowed by
\nfactory time
\nand combined with
\nquarantined manifestation
\nwe distance ourselves
\nwith slow eyes
\nand diluted souls<\/p>\n

broken jokes
\nheld together by insane glue
\nwe’re captured in fear play
\nand concealed in crisis
\nas lazy leaders preach control
\nand surrender
\nand the social ghettos
\ndrive desire
\nfor a narrative passion
\nfrantic
\nand emptied of symmetry<\/p>\n

machine disease
\nwith shaded words
\nin the color of truth
\nare shot down by cold patrols
\nstranded and divided
\nin the shell of this silent city
\nwe reach for inanimate connection
\nas prophets are rented
\nin careless anticipation
\nfantasized, neglected
\nand set to endure
\nthis rolling dystopia<\/p>\n

hungover from riots of uncertainty
\ntoo many question linger
\non empty shelves of capitalist comfort<\/p>\n

as old men pretend
\nto deal the seed of summer
\nwaiting for
\nthe distraction of tomorrow
\nin the now of nothing<\/p>\n

contamination
\nin this
\ncorrosive social love
\nchasing a savage visage
\nin vanity we hide
\nwith beasts of
\na criminal plantation<\/p>\n

tired and majestic
\nsecretly moving towards
\na sacramental sacrifice
\nwe drink the dream
\nreclusive and ranting
\nwith teeth dancing
\nlike glass slippers
\nas the stars flux
\nin pagan poverty<\/p>\n

imagination,
\ndecontamination,
\nwet with alcoholic fury
\nand set to contain
\nthis final epic strain<\/p>\n

lying on
\nuntamed landscapes of euphoria,
\nchaotic
\nflooded by the moon
\nand following the sun
\nwe wait
\nwith faith
\nin a state
\nof restless r(E)volution
\nto reveal, rebel, and recover<\/p>\n
