Devolution

Satires euphoric epiphanies
Conclude uselessly
That everything
Cannot be concluded

And disease struggles to be maintained
Through wire fences
And swiss cheese
Diabolical plans
Of unknown

Traces are found sporadically
Misplaced by fate
Or was it man
Indecisive
Making decisions
Conclusions

Troubles lurk
Around every solution
And every solution
Lurks behind every complication
Lurking

Direct quotations
Of man’s own choosing
Lead other men
To believe they’re gods
Gods amongst insects

And insects believe
That numbers would overcome
If only they knew
Where the other insects played

Deranged overtures of direct connections
Fouled by direct links
Of truth
That is false

Inspired by fiends
Dressed as mortals
But disguised as saviors
To the un-trained eye
And the closed mind

Fall
Rise
Overcome
Fallen…
again

outstanding! this reminds me of "1984" after it's own fashion. The masses (goyim, as the 'elite' call us) are ever to be led, and the 'elite' ever to lead. Everything we're told is a lie; or, more truthfully, not true. The weapons of mass deception...

lie in every household.... We've been conditioned how to live, and if we don't comply, we are 'failures,' plainly put. again, my dear belly dancer, this was truly a work of art on grand proportions

"Troubles lurk Around every solution And every solution Lurks behind every complication Lurking", that did it for me. So true! An excellent piece. ~L

Fawn you're on a goddamn roll lately. There is so much sarcastic observation in this that, as serious as it truly is, it is also humorous in a sickening way. Fucking awsome. ~Ryan
