Maxim for the Future

Sell your soul Tumble down the mainstream's rabbit hole Manifest your thoughts and dreams And welcome to the machine Everyday you pour your heart into your work For some fat cat on the hill If you wish to make a dollar, do not shirk Given the bare essentials of what you need In you the government has planted the future's seed Don't dare ask what it's all about Rise like a Phoenix and shout What you see is (not) what you perceive Having been told what to believe "Workin Hard-- The People Lead The Way!" The maxim for the muture This is what they say Slowly drudging Emotionless Like a machine Life isn't as good as it seems Flying cars and colonies on Mars All just delusions from the past Mere peasants workin hard for minimum wage Rich & wealth is the unreachable rage Depleting the sources we only have one home Dreams are gone citizens are grown [War constantly raging and blowling each other to bits Have we reduced ourselves to such pieces of shit?] Friend, this life isn't what it seems Manifest your thoughts and dreams And welcome to the machineEssential listening: Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime" That's the basis for political uprising. Great music. The passage in the brackets is an optional line. I threw it in there regardless. Anyhoo. Hope you enjoyed. Written February 21st, 2002 © on Feb 21 2002 10:54 AM PST   0 • 9
