A Single Glance

A single glance;

The necessary criteria for determining false truth.

Most are blind; their vision consumed by ignorance.

Amenable blending has decayed their sense of ‘self.’

Happiness has become a manufactured product;

Abnegation serves as currency when they purchase it.

A controlled media distorts the reality they accept;

Appearance, emotion, lifestyle --they decide nothing.

Society exiles all those without its ideology.

Created laws and social taboos succeed in restricting us.

Individuality has been repressed into oblivion;

Non-conformist has become a derogatory label.

Roving dolls masquerade as life’s necessity.

Those not made of plastic are told to live in misery;

Rapture visits those with self-discarded ego.

            A single glance;

The necessary criteria for determining real truth.

Few have sight; their vision consumed with avidity.

Amenable blending has revealed their sense of ‘self.’

Happiness has become their manufactured product.

Abnegation holds no worth when they purchase it.

A controlled media distorts the reality they refuse;

Appearance, emotion, lifestyle --they decide everything.

Society needs all those without its ideology.

Created laws and social taboos fail in restricting us.

Individuality has been expressed into existence.

Non-conformist has become an aspired label.

Roving dolls fall short of life’s necessity.

Those not made of plastic refuse to live in misery;

Rapture visits those with self-discovered ego.
