mechanical god: the afterbirth

a major distraction
became the main attraction
who knew?
shit flew in the face of logic
of reasoning

alas..

there was a reckoning
a resurgence
of that deeply rooted sentiment
rotting at the core
tethered insidiously to the tapestry
of a stagnant ideology
retarding the evolutionary process
as history sets the stage
to repeat itself once again

sad but true

boys will be boys
and they are ready to reveal
those more extravagant toys
ready employ despotic measures
to secure a future
entrenched in a past
that was never meant to last

build it anyway they say
by any and every means necessary
for a restless soul
will always forsake peace
in favor of control

insecure...immature
symptoms of a sinister dis-ease
still-born at inception
the {self proclaimed} exception
to every rule

the world is yours

and irony is king
the victor is once again the victim
entangled a low vibrational web
of its own design
a web it still has no sense of
after all this time
blind to its very existence

sad but true
