In a world full of false ideals
images and trending captions
compete with pix-elated passions
double-speak is now the fashion
everyone must get a ration
and caught in the web
of imaginary distractions
a new day dawns
with artificial attractions
what waits for you beyond the cloud
the brave new world
double click goes the crowd
words and images
the senses crave
outside themselves
in futuristic caves
the paintings reveal
what’s really real
just a one and a zero
the modern silicon hero
while somewhere
over the chem-bow lies
that new world order
with gestapo eyes
fingerprints now obsolete
have your DNA swabbed
and they’ll give you a treat
facial recognition and retinal scans
don’t worry about it
it’s all part of the plan
so as the parts, have all been cast
the stage is ready, and invitations sent
once out of the garden
all the world’s a stage (d) event
