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
