We’ve gone underground. Helicopters roaring above us. The fundaments are pounding with the sound of techno bass. Gone are the days when we were dancing in abandon. ––––– We are stuck in a labyrinth of no-cost distractions. Even though we seem to know everything, we’ve long lost any sense of direction.
We had sneaked in and were now approaching the victors / winners. Welcomed as very important persons we indulged in the illusion of luxury. We accepted conditions for we, too, were seeking our own advantage. ––– Prisoners in our comfort zone we were running in circles. Yes, we enjoyed privileges. But we had to pay a heavy price.
We’re identified as targets. Still we have no fear for our lives. ––– Our imagination’s long since been occupied as commodity. And our resistance is being used as an alibi. ––– Even if we’re still able to feel, they’ve made us the yardstick of their system. We’re accomplices. From the outset we’ve always been complicit with it.
