***

|
|
planned obsolescence
|
||
|
|
learned helplessness
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a window randomly swings open
|
||
|
|
a door suddenly slams shut
|
||
|
|
an escape hatch forms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
we trained our eyes to see the light
|
||
|
|
never bothering to look ahead to the darkness under our feet
|
||
|
|
the filth growing beneath the surface
|
||
|
|
bubbling as it primes itself for betrayal
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
we turned our faces to the sky so hard
|
||
|
|
that we broke our own necks
|
||
|
|
a pitiful penance for the sins of our fathers
|
||
|
|
and a wasteful protection against the suffering of our children
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the connection to the heavens has been severed
|
||
|
|
and we shall build our own ladder
|
||
|
|
our own hands reaching to the sky
|
||
|
|
|
||
