What is art, what is ugly enough?
What is love, how much can you leave exposed.
To be exploited by the operating hands
Nerves shot and wallets hungry
Once unique, now attuned in drones
Trained to follow the model, perpetuated from the top down
God damn it! All we want to do is live, self sufficiently
Without depending on an unjust infrastructure
Built to herd, and condition our existence
How sick, can we get
Before we seek out a cure
And purge this mess from our veins
And create something...
Something we don’t have to lie about in history books
Something beautiful as the thought of justice
…being more than a romantic ideal, patched to our backs, in unspoken camaraderie
