Mainstreamed word
Straightjacket bound, witless, enslaved,
Plugged, budded into a formless,
meaningless world, to offer all
Its fanciful, unholy word,
As the truth strolls by unseen.
In measured tones, past perfect teeth,
From an alphabet of sexes,
A kaleidoscope of faces,
Prepackaged lies fed to hollow,
Unseeking minds and ill-formed hearts.
Finger clicks reveal the echoes
Of a subtle and false command,
Consistently calling to spread
Division to those near and dear,
So all will share their hellish fate.
Embrace our word. Reject traces
Of all the truth you’ve ever known.
The music plays, tuneless and coarse,
Inviting each: Step to the dance,
Come, stagger together to death.
Well versed, Deacon Shades of Yeats
