Cultural Perversion
Cultural Perversion
Culture is the perversion that fetishizes dead objects in display windows,
creates the mania of insatiable consumption of ever-growing unfulfilled hunger,
preaches endless forms of false happiness gleaming in empty screens,
false understanding in the form of grotesque religions promising heaven.
Ridiculous cults invite people to dehumanize themselves slowly and surely,
behaving like cold machines with souls of shiny and hard metal,
the fetish of gleaming objects transforms us into eternally submissive worshipers,
the mania of consumption saturates us filling our stomachs with immeasurable desires.
False happiness preaches sweet lies about life's lost meaning,
grotesque religions teach us the deep darkness of blind misunderstanding,
absurd cults invite us to be superficial floating on the empty surface,
our slow dehumanization makes us obedient machines with hearts of stone.
Perverse culture fetishizes the gleam of sacred objects in stores,
consumption consumes us feeding us with emptiness full of gleaming promises,
endless forms of false happiness make us slaves of eternal desire,
we falsely understand under grotesque cults of reason blinded by lights.
We behave like cold automated machines programmed to consume endlessly,
we dehumanize ourselves in the worship of objects gleaming in cold windows,
our mania for consumption saturates us starving us with insatiable desires,
culture perverts us transforming us into slaves of imposed "normality."
The gleaming fetishes of sacred objects transform us into worshipers,
grotesque religions preach to us the deep misunderstanding of the confused world,
ridiculous cults invite us to the slow dehumanization of our soul,
we are obedient machines with hearts of stone beating in empty chests.
