The New War
Is fear
Like all wars
It is an unwinnable war
Yet, it is being waged
By the haves
So they can have more
Playing against the
Proletariat using only
Their reptilian brain
Into survival reacting
Instead of using our
Human neocortex brain
Over the primate brain
Under our divine consciousness
Recognizing the
Subtleties of suggestion
That danger is
Around the corner
Which is as substantial as
The bogeyman
Is under the bed
Unfortunately it works
The sky is falling
Banks are failing
The debt ceiling
Must be raised
(When money doesn’t exist
In the first place)
Your guns “might” be taken
Otherwise
“You” will be replaced
Eastasia is going
To attack Oceania
…..must needs prepare
Which means nothing
Other than consume
More consumables
While one can
When everyone can
As often as they can
Kind of a reverse
Perverse Pascal wager
Believing in God
That will provide
No matter what
But……..just in case
Buy something now
To satiate serotonin
Because it is so
Momentary
Structuring socioeconomic conditions
Into layers of redundancies so that
Everyone is so busy “working” that
All are outsourcing each other to
Get what they didn’t need
In the first place at great expense
Financial, emotional, spiritual and
The most finite of costs……..time
Gone are the moments
One will never ever get back
Because of the indoctrination
You by yourself are not enough
Unless you buy lots of stuff
As if by rote
Keeping the economy afloat
“Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with Visions
Afflicting us with fear
Predicting War for millions
In the hope that one appears
//
No point asking when it is
No point asking who’s to go
No point asking what’s the game
No point asking who’s to blame
//
If you’re gonna die, die with your boots on
If you’re gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you’re gonna die, you’re gonna die
Die!”

That someday light may shine through”
