No Brave New World


  In the meta-versed binaural wish song beats, 
skid row streets of the bottomless pits of Metropolis/ Thebes, 
you are quardoned off and printed in a likeness 
wronged-vaped, winged
to the wilderness by their covens, draconics chasing,
vomitous flood eroding, erasing.

On the road to Babylon, eyes sutured 
in digital DNA with mRNA 
biometric diphthong grafted imbuely under the tongue, litmus for the UN Normandy flu 
and culled beef diet in Newsweek.

We are a union dumb-stuck between 
a matrix of passports and illusions of WEF delusions
and cohorts of manned machine, 
DOJ courts, idol new age quartz, 
feats in a mirey clay and FedNow freethinker vaccine 
of silenced speech, dramamine gemmed, 
coined vessels of recycled earth leech of iron teeth 
IED in sodomic coliseum of id that lies 
in your footprint continually fingerprinting your criminal
poentiality-
beneath an ominous cloud of anti firmity 
in anti Christ affinity for SALT for the people in neon crystal_LSD_mumbo jumbo tron, fertile fertility ritual viewing habitual soil of hanging gardens of hashtag underscored tin hat foil, trends to tend moor, 
moat in our due season of rfid trackers in inn-product depend ants remote placement 
ad game replacement theology of "the ministry" effacement, 
the lusty silicone and tattooed alterations- 
creams of the streets and the gender of ambiguity or shamed by society. 

We should have turned away from their piety, plotous impropriety in the waves that swept us 
into their allure, of grave new World.

There is no green deal,
only confiscated farms and rainwater 
allotment alarms.

What have we become 
but flotsam and jetsam wreckage-djour 
drifting above deep hidden pearls and between 
isles of tranquility luaus of "peace and
safety" fears eroding freedom and identity, 
Assemblies that assemble a Kingly Constitution 
to vessel as one body, one vision, one ad mission,
now a-fjordead to farthest reach, where waters have become bitter and the food soylently bred green, 
a haven to withstand the drowning pool of money-changers forgone fargo and bankers embargo 
and the land of many waters turned red, 
bridges burned, supply lines impeached, 
gushed to mutinous breach of Capitol Hell, 
Shrangri-locked, Kamalot, Mar-a- lago gots them chomping at the bit and gnashing of teeth 
to turn this place into a vacant lost.
Our System of a Down, 
"Derangement syndrome Clowns".
We the stow-aways in a storm, 
of gotaways at the shores of we-dom, 
forlorn expensed pre-spent loads of 
OnlyFans/breakfast at Tiffany's 
Leftist moans of perdeum coins forplay.

We are Geo-fence cracked snails 
become cartographers on our merry way 
to navigate beyond Christ's protection 
in lieu of deicide and trans-humanism, 
the old ways in a crossroads to a new mourn. 

Now comes the sirens as we drift out to sea, 
on our way to nowhere.
Is this what you decide?
Or do you feel voiceless, 
rudderless or just-stay out of the craziness, 
are you lazy, high, "comfortably numb" 
or just staring at the Pleaides starstruck by exotic materials striking you, 
bombarding you in gammation, 
blind, deaf and dumb.

Dear Jude, what a powerful reflection on the complexities of modern society, where technology, politics, and societal norms converge in a chaotic dance. I loved your use of amazing imagery and intricate language creating a dystopian landscape where individuals are caught in the currents of societal upheaval and technological advancement. It's a wonderful haunting portrayal of a world grappling with identity, freedom, and the relentless march of progress. - Blessings, Daniel
