Forget about futuristic wars
between nations, race against race
country against country
tongue against tongue;
soon the populous will know no
borders, continents no boundaries.
“The New master”
Is awakening manoeuvring
stalking, his plan already activated
The twenty second century will
see his bidding become
formidable, the pocket, whims,
thoughts and desires
will be his to regulate, what
to eat, drink, lay on ride on, he
will control, no law will hold him,
he will be the law!
Politicians will become
his directors and producers
will guide his script, play his media
trouble shooters
his bounty hunters, seeking out
the moralist, the Salvationist,
no competition will be his aim,
manipulation of all things
one world
one God
one Board
one CHAIRMAN
“The ultimate ONE COMPANY”

Wake me up,
As I,m out of breath
I'm locked in dreams
Beyond my thoughts.
Fetters hustle towards me
To bind my conscience,
To consign me to oblivion.
Floating in the void, I'm moving
Towards premonition
What if things are predestined?
The only solution is anastasis.
Someone unchained me
Hands of the salvationist!.
My heartbeat raised.
Using all my strength,
I stirred backwards
Towards the angels.
But angels drift apart from me
My dream is collapsing.
Am I a fugitive?
Come on, dream on...
What if things are predestined?!
The only solution is anastasis.
Bemasked, the wild salvationist preached school was out forever,
Pricked and cracked the consciousness with rapiers and schizms,
Set light the darkest childhood days with bright nocturnal crystal
That shone in desperado eyes through black mascara prisms.
Psyche-fused deadringer wreathed in murderous intention,
Schizoid and vampiric, leeching blood like vintage wine,
The razorblades and needles scathed the parent model coda,
A prophet on a dry ice stage ungleaned in his own time.
Gallows backdrops hang and hold the fabled shadow high,
Chicken myths and guillotines splice fantasy with fact,
Bemasked, the wild salvationist returns as hope recoils,
And smile without, endure within, and keep the dream intact.
