Construct-a-con

We used to think as part of the construct
Mind’s susceptible to the flickering of pixilated images
Subtly perpetuating the need for un-necessary necessities.

We used to walk as part of the construct
Zipping in and out of glittering doorways
Accumulating a multitude of name brand hand attachments
Spreading out, clasping at those precious trinkets

We used to talk as part of the construct
Jibber jabber lashes of consumer tongue self obsessive ignorance
And government funded hardship
While the ‘worthless’ die alone in the shadows of our thoughts.

We used to act as part of the construct
Roaming as blind robot worker bees
On our knees
Paying our fee for survival
Never truly seeing the hypocrisy of the authorities
And their exploitation of everything that is natural and real
As a means to a profitable end

We used to accept the construct
Without question
Loyal to it’s laws of the past and present
With no regard to those of the future
Our future
