We wait inside
During the mandated hours
And we are well catered for
In our allotted spaces
It has been some time since the event
But those fears run deep and we must protect our own
There could never have been any doubt
That this is how it should be
It is a vast and fragile mechanism that facilitates our desires
And at all costs it must be maintained
Sacrifices have to be made
And it made was clear who to blame
Sacrifices have been made
And it was clear who we should blame
It took the blood of thousands
To keep our gilded vessel afloat
But we are allotted our cabins
And endless choice
In return for compliance
We wait inside
During the mandated hours
We are provided with all the necessary distractions
Until called upon
Business as usual

Impetus Denied
An impenetrable lethargy
Stretches all time
And flattens all horizons
All avenues are open
All routes are endless
Clouds of futility
Drift across the minds aye
An obscuring fog
Collapsing futures
It gnaws away at you
The apathy
Eroding currents
Static and aimless
Everything is possible
But nothing is attainable
Lattice works of scar tissue
Reinforce the seal
A dynamo spins
Disconnected
Meaningless achievement
The milestones have been withdrawn
Directionless endeavor
When goals yield naught
Everything is possible
Featureless and grey
Nothing is attainable
Featureless and grey

What space is there to think
Under the weight of this collapse?
Trudging through the stagnant mass
Of this endless now
The people have spoken
And nothing has changed
So you got about your tasks
And let each concession fester
And punctuate the banality
With exhausted endeavors
Drawn from frayed nerves
And belligerence
Lethargy trickles down from on high
Steeps all in a thick tar of worry
This is just the way that things have to be
Whilst choirs cry victory
With shrieks of self assurance
A deafening congregation
Extols their own importance
And defeat means more means more of the same
Nothing will change
There is nothing left to attain
