Unconfident die castes vote ballot blank,
How has our circus bread become this bland?
What a diverse homogeneous blend,
All stitched to sleeves but less with blood to bleed,

Patience is slightly eroded
and I have been goaded
into a rant.
Ooooh I can't

For love, for kinship, for the future.
Tied by the very hands of Destiny.

Seems times and seasons, rhymes and reasons were only shtick
Yet the desire deferred...

see how bored we are;
we enter trance, to pass time,
conjuring ego.

ego leads us to
a dance of fear and desire,
we feel as real.

somewhere in the mists,
we recall our origin,
as glimmers of light.

finally we tire

Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within
They burn, upturn, compelling doublethink 
Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin

Told to follow rules, without...
