A brief history of how the world works.
Everything's Economy.
Less is more is less is more
and you're
storebought sympathy
to the devil who feeds you-
bleeds you-
steals from you,
to remake you in his blindest images.
The hindsight is your only birthright.
You were put here to be special
just like everyone else;
now
shut up and be yourself
just like everyone else.
Are we what's left
of those who left
another place to be misplaced?
No, we're only the remnants of dreams
still waiting to wake.
We haven't begun.
We haven't changed.
We're just imagined
in someone else's way.
