We Are Oblivion

oblivion crawls,

dragging hands

dragging feet

dragging their balls

to the lecture halls,

the ‘pay later’ mules 

are the ‘educated fools’

that know it all 

until challenged,

unaware 

their individuality

is collectively managed

 

Oh, the irony!! 

 

generals instruct their surgeons 

to place easily swallowed

soundbites in the most 

tangible of positions,

they chose the algorithms,

generation Z 

have rectangular eyes

and the girls

have men’s thighs

or is it the other way around?

we are oblivion

we require so much

and yet contribute

so little, our currency 

is addiction, 

an addiction

to ourselves,  

the new drugs 

aren’t cooked up

down some back alley,

they’re coming 

straight out of

Silicon Valley

and beamed into you

through your 

78.453K tele

 

we are oblivion

we are menials,

licking our wounds

when no one’s watching,

fondling, 

touching ourselves

in public view, 

gender benders,

masked faces  

demanding access 

to women’s spaces,

autogynephiles

going wild when

mis-gendered

 

get a grip! 

 

we are oblivion 

we’re the derogatory,

no glory comes 

from selling clout

or cutting out your quim

with the expectation 

of feeling something

other than dead skin,

you are social engineering

your mind isn’t imagination

it’s the creation

of the social engineers

and the media who

dress you up in drag

fag, 

lesbian

homo 

gay 

they’ll

be 

‘transing’ 

you away

 

don’t say I didn’t

warn you
