Work Text:
Imagine a world where everything is owned and managed by one sole entity.
You are free from your ownlife*
You don’t see the name, but it’s hand is in everything
Before now, they were growing
The land, the sand, it’s all been planned
The blinking light, the mechanical mite on the far wall, the words you can’t recite, with no sense of right,
not in this world
The future is not bright
You do not have to imagine this world without morality, for it is our reality.
Your perception is no longer reality
They show you your reality
Your life has been structured like that of a machine
Numbers, graphs, colors on screen
The dayorder* means what they want it to mean
Your home is not yours.
Your life is not yours.
Yours is now BlackRock
Your ownlife* is now theirs.
Their grip on you is fullwise*
Their ranks so high they own stakes in all the Banks
Examine your medicine cabinet and you might find their name, it is definite,
For their grasp is infinite.
Their eyes are that of God
They are watching you
You don’t notice anything but you know
And they know
And they know you don’t care
