APOTHEOSIS

We spend our time chasing money,

And all that money can buy us;

By their trinkets do we define,

Value the worth of those around us! 

We spend our time chasing degrees,

That confers on us validation,

By those whom we seek to impress; 

Knowledge is not a consideration! 

We spend our time praising freedom,

And all that lip service entails; 

While imprisoned by the baubles,

That keep us captive and enthralled!

We spend our time on our gadgets,

Whose feed is controlled by someone else;

We feed our brains with all that junk,

Which is designed to keep us entrapped!

We spend our days, our entire lives,

In this state, hypnotised, held in thrall; 

A collective brain controls our fates, 

And that brain is certainly not ours!

What we focus on is religion;

What we pray to are our Gods;

What we chase all our lives we become;

Man makes his Gods, and they in turn make Him!
