Pi of Progress
Ceteris paribus
states it all
No external connection
Or resources to stall
So, We find ourselves living
in a world with no limits that moans
Constrained by unsustainable models
that give markets a life of their own
Inferring "...it's natural"
blinding the small
Market models become
the new spirits we adore
Just like our ancestors revered
the Gods in the sky
We look up to our leaders
who don't seem to know why
Yet predict with maths models
the fault once called sin
Religious shamans
are still not 'has been'
The world of reality
is too plain to be seen
By the eyes of society
that love to simply Dream

Holographic, Phantomatic & Idiocratic
Phantomats
for every denomination
Attractions, distractions
For the worker Nation
Lost in thoughts
formulated by scholars
Branded and sold
To a wide consumer audience
Idealist dreamer
born naiver and cleaner
See the creation of a workforce
porting white collars and revelling in divorce

Progress and Stress
To progress
we are strained
To fight
and fight again
Love sometimes
left behind
Ditched for quests
to explore and find
Something new
Something different
That will challenge
your innocence
Self-centredness
inherent in ambition
Anxiety
from the adrenaline
in your tissue
Stressed
from constant fear
All reactions
from thoughts unclear
Don't let all this
make you frown
Get angry, stay focused
Keep your head down
Push hard.
And I've no doubt
you'll go far...

Ascension from the Real
Once all is said and done
we will glow bright like the sun
Turn away from our cruel bones
find a path resembling souls
Leave away the want and waste
for a life beyond the tastes
The sights,
The sounds,
The days that hound
Our lives with profit
A Corporate puppet
Pull my strings
and I will kneel
Thinking rational
aggression real
Your raison d'etre
which left you burdened
With a crumbling empire- alone,
composed of drones
Just listen to the sounds
drunken singing all around
Merry lot
banned from pot
Unwinding like a pack of dogs
Making a right mess oh Lord!
Call me prude
Call them sane
Having fun
Or drowning in shame?
Life or heist
you decide, ok?

Mechanical Response:
'Creative Destruction'
With metaphors dead
The laws of nature spread
A strategy of probability
raw talent and ability
To perceive what isn't there
Thought structures laid bare
These numerical anomalies
that break the trend of families
No longer seem that necessary
Within a corporate strategy
It creates an ever branching tree
That envelops all that you can be
Those dreadful roots
crush the tiny shoots
Grow into sores
they block your pores
Then formulate boxes
that encase your throught processes
Progress slowly looses steam
Within the socialist machine

No lines, no clear distinctions
Linear regression
Impossible to tell?
The formula is there
clearly the answer as well
Strategic functions
following set patterns
Random:
merely the antithesis
of the latter
Mapping choices
predicting voices
Planned outcomes
Harness your thumbs
Evolve through your thought
Forget what you bought
Commercial enquiry
Your job is your dowry

A systematic anomaly, Born of Imperfect Symmetry
'Human...' he said
Understand that Flaw allowed Creation to flourish
learn to do away with your notions of perfection or perish
Under extremists who do not heed
From pride continue the cycle of ' I need'
Truth: You need nothing but what is minimal
Be humble, not demanding - not cynical
Learn to appreciate what you have
Freedom of choice, a right to decide
Nothing is worth the hassle of tears
Get over it, build a bridge- wipe away all fears
To be witness of consequence cross to the stoic's side
see happiness personified as a product worth a tithe
Say Bah! to status and prestige
Or suffer like those who 'must have it' by any means
Blinded by their ego they seek criminality
the third choice invented by a primitive human mentality...
he paused, then began to whisper:
If these attitudes remain
Your wars will continue to stain
Your path and feed the vultures
Your conscience and your cultures
Nothing is worth the hassle of tears
Not even perfection - that must remain clear

What is truth? That Canonized by ®?
Open your eyes to see
The illusion of reality
So created, manufactured
As to promote a human structure
A single consciousness
All for one!
Civil liberties
Truly won?
Bring in conflicting myths
Individuals, sift through this!
Contradictions,
State afflictions
What is truth?
Find me proof!
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you scraps
Of Sugar, chocolate…social traps!
You see…
Questions loose their relevance
When brains don’t think
But need to laugh.
If Prosperity is all you seek
and Hedonism all they preach
Your life would therefore lack the depth
To create a Self-fulfilled state for you to reach!
As long as pain and suffering we abhor
we will cloud our judgement more and more
We will find ourselves with no true voice
in a world with so much choice!
checkmate!

The Blood Red Moon
So pull at my heart strings,
and see me so weak,
guided by the tears,
that fall down my cheeks...
I'm scared of the darkness,
afraid of the wild,
although I grow old
I still feel like a child...
Insecure of world structures
which cage in my race
and keeps me away
from my lover's embrace...
