Wakeful(less)

‘Consciousness’ hits
The harmony splits
I remember things that I ‘have to do’
Just a moment ago
I was floating on flow
In a land without rules,
Without ‘false’, without ‘true’
The light shines in
The time shines in
The shite shines in
What a dreadful place
Awake awake
For badness sake
The realm of
Sense(less) dissension and hate
It’s cold as fuck it’s noisy too
As other people’s ‘perspectives’
Scream through
Better listen and learn
More like
Bicker and burn
Get dressed
Get stressed
Let the ‘real’ world return
Awake awake
But not quite enough
Guzzle coffee, take drugs
Just to focus on stuff
That you’d rather forget
Work, anxiety, mess
A society swept up
In shiny duress
That yells
Good fucking morning
In everyone’s face
Through the
Screens
Through the
Waves
Through the
Brain cells erased
Eat your eggs, drink your juice
And then scroll through your day
Scroll through love scroll through hate
Scroll your own thoughts away
Awake awake
But still fast asleep
In a world run by robots
That run our beliefs
Awake awake
But still fast asleep
In a world
Where the ‘shepherds’
Love strangling ‘sheep’.
