|
<p>planned obsolescence<br />
|
||
|
|
learned helplessness</p>
|

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