84: tempo rally

This is the Future:

identified by = #
evaluated by = %
penalised by = $
and forced to face
an infinite input of facts and figures 
and insanity in the form of information overload
of truths and half-truths,
of white lies and whole lies,
with processors
swollen by nothing of importance,
with memories
numbed by nothing of relevance.

here are beings
disinterested
for having existed
in a world so filthy and twisted,
and be judged for crimes they had to inherit
and to right wrongs they did not commit --

This is the Future.

getting closer and closer
as loud as ever
but on mute.

This is the Future,
where the silent screams

are nothing

but

deafening.

42: damaged

why?

why are you in such a state?
why are you in so much pain?
why are you so... damaged?

what have you done to yourself?
what has society done to make you this way?
what have we all done to cause us to be like this?

i'm really curious to know why you are the way you are
and i'm also scared to know what you might answer.
