Pleasure, & the foolish to be [its] slave
[For certainly the good must persist
(& the weak to hide in luxury’s cave)]”

Consumers to spend more on displays
Of wealth and status symbols, [to prize:

Cities can be paradises
When individuals accept others
Leaving people to their own devices

I’m trapped here in this near perfect world
Constantly locating stupid problems
I look about sneering, with my lips curled

The digital stream of zeroes & ones
Is this patriotic land exploiting

Either on top* of our craniums

The insanity of self-righteous rage
That the algorithms now fertilize
Shows us how we choose arrogance’s cage

But humanity’s still excavating

My mind is constructed of stories
That find themselves retold ad nauseum
Most of them are youthful glories

The city has slowly come together
Over the centuries of our travail
Things get calamitous & then better
Working best when common people prevail

Find out when we became the enemy?
Trading humanity’s good for money
Our land is clearly becoming scummy

Is completely imprisoned within
The observer who is dutiful
To complete life: both virtue & sin
