Bora born
Zoned out _
A feted time of cultured chaos blows through
humanities usurped sensibilities.
A never ending itch metered by desires
sets familiar scenes for what's soon to follow.
Tricked out in an izone of faces buried
in footpaths, eyes wide shut to passerby people.
Self-absorbed genspeak, celebrity cultures
new brood, fantasies me too, me like you.
Closed world views mirror infantile ilife needs
persona's comfort zoned one out real life bluff.
Minds build thousands of lickerty split friends, self
gratifications raw need fills nouveaux voids.
And there it is, entropy's last stand succumbed
within the spell of matter's subtle embrace.
Social contracts non negotiable trends press
the materialising influence hard.
Choose which way, mind the builder, shine a light on
who you really are, complement creation
or flipside service to others within flawed
mepla wants, izone your life to coventry.
