Indoctrination
Kenneth DiMaggio
Indoctrination
with the medication
it just takes a swallow
of Coca Cola
to become totalitarian
Zero
zero
zero
And no matter how many you accumulate
you can never work hard enough
to put a number in front of them
My soul must have had plastic surgery
to leak toxins like a ruptured
implant of silicone
take whatever remaining
artificial beauty
to ignite into flames
Without
any attempt at creating
spiritual chaos
you will never become
an individual
But even if you manage to win
against the machinery
you will still come out dead
Ape ape
It is you
we need to imitate
it is your turn
to make us science fiction
and our turn to be spared
the psychic degeneration
caused by morality
and God
And instead of swinging
from tree to skyscraper
let us just take
the next twenty or so
centuries
to rediscover
the beauty of fire
