Witness the propagation

of false consciousness

Lied to from the start

Kept from the origin

of the affliction

Deceit underlies every act of man

I am cursed with an anhedonic fate

Attacked at the core in the embryonic state

Emotions dulled to absurdity

A searing malaise casts its shadow again

Brainwashed to crave the suffocating roots

and rip the threads that connect the world

Cognizant of the specter of death

In which dread and despair become one

The will to achieve full realization

Is cast out at every turn

Witness the spawning of a wrath with no dawn

Shatter the borders and tear at the seams

I cling to life with every act of rage

Rebel against the foundational screeds

No longer enigmatic and ever present

Empathy exists no more
