Upgraded

Like good robots

we go about our routines
 running down the wires

crossing oceans

hailing skies

until we're upgraded

Corrupted Souls

Politics are the only thing

clowns are good at
 

Joyless

Government

sucks the joy from life
 

Illusions to Follow

Without love

there's nothing

just illusions to follow
 

Obey

Programmed to obey

humanity hums

prisoners of what we're told to be 

Subdued

The sheep of humanity subdued

forlorn and empty
 

Out of Reach

You stepped out

way out there

we left behind

in your forgetting

out of reach
 

True Aim

Our aim is true

when we find our purpose
 

Aches and Pains

Our aches and pains

just a life lived
 

Daze

You left in a haze

forgetting all and one

gone before the setting sun

lost in an endless daze
 

Never Be

We used to share our dreams

you and me

vibrant and lively

that long off someday

those days were to never be
 

Sweetness

Savor the sweetness of life
 

Passing Through

Each journey is unique

like each grain of sand

worlds unto themselves
 we just vessels passing through

Fail to Believe

The land of milk and honey

comes to an end

when we fail to believe
 

Beckon Not

There's always something in the distance

let it beckon not
 

No Consequence

Where we find ourselves

is of no consequence
 

Come Clean

left alone

we all can come clean
 

Fool Ourselves

We fool ourselves

thinking we're going somewhere
 

Gamble

The future is a gamble

no safe bets on tomorrow

our real treasure is today
 

What's in our hearts

We can either build

or destroy

it depends on

what's in our hearts
 

Fading Away

We lost you

and you lost us

from within

all hope and dreams gone

just a shell

a bright light

fading away
 

You no more

I always thought we'd meet again

you sharing your dreams and hopes

me happy just listening

mother and son

happy just being

till dementia took you away
 

Skullduggery

Let's wash away
 political skullduggery

and save humanity

Walk On

Our destination depends on us....
 

Our true nature

Nature provides

Humanity destroys
 

Carefree

Carefree
Disconnected from drama

The way life was intended to be

Deep End

We've gone off the deep end

humanity doomed

self-destruction the goal

politicians leading the way

freedom a memory
 

Manmade

 

Nothing is everlasting

when it's manmade

Arbitrary Contradictions

We live in an illusion

programmed to know no better

all arbitrary

contradictions

to keep us in place
 

Undoing

Our technology

the cause of our undoing
