Deferred Dreams
Into the eye of the storm, lives twist, turn
Contorted to robotic conformity
Drenched in strife we combat the uncertainty of yesterday’s anxieties
Permitting the existence of time to be shackled
Marched to our deaths by the reaping of our infested and divested lands
Mentally blinded by manmade deceits
Truth loosen in hushed mouths we speak, deaf ears we come to hear
Regulated minds we serve
One third of the darken man’s principle’s purloined
Yet, only one fourth of the blessed masses
Will ever hear the calling of Gabriel’s horn
Are we marked by our own radical beast of burdens
Chips implanted under the judgment of the superior
Social media caressing or intellect one keystroke at a time
Diseases, plagues, marking the time of our mortal revelations
Go on preach my brother, to the empty flocks
The benediction of offerings you take, less words of belief we receive
Shoot me down for standing on the logic of truth
I bow my head in remembrance of inequality
Uplift my head to the mountaintops
Only to taste the reality of a dream deferred
Contorted to robotic conformity
Drenched in strife we combat the uncertainty of yesterday’s anxieties
Permitting the existence of time to be shackled
Marched to our deaths by the reaping of our infested and divested lands
Mentally blinded by manmade deceits
Truth loosen in hushed mouths we speak, deaf ears we come to hear
Regulated minds we serve
One third of the darken man’s principle’s purloined
Yet, only one fourth of the blessed masses
Will ever hear the calling of Gabriel’s horn

Go on preach my brother, to the empty flocks
The benediction of offerings you take, less words of belief we receive
Shoot me down for standing on the logic of truth
I bow my head in remembrance of inequality
Uplift my head to the mountaintops
Only to taste the reality of a dream deferred

I really like the combination of biblical and technological. You paint a vivid picture with this one! Welcome to DUP!

You made me think of distraction and destruction as I read and reread this to find a way in the multifaceted journey that I went on of gloom and doom.

Gloom and doom, the flawless characteristics of life greatest ails, which I truly hope you surpass in this lifetime, and thank you, sir
