Smothered

cement is always same, producing the same answer, executing the habitual formula ~~ cement is everywhere. cement produces the same minions. what lays on the cynical surface is constant. cars drive, buildings ascend, buildings demolished ~~ you are born to look down, look down, look straight, but never look up. Look down, as your man made machine works. You are a stock, a stock that never loses value. A stock that will produce. Look down as you are feasted on. stare down to your pay ~~ Fertile elegant land is now raped with all the same. look down, to the insanity repetitions. look down as you are instilled to, while the rich men smoke big cigars to their monopoly game, ~~ Stretch your strained neck, throw your head up. See the blue and clouds and stars, Feel the sun, see the bird gazing across you. ~~ to the ocean, follow me
