Breathing life into the clay

The systemic decimation of a precious mental state

sees another environment denuded in attempts made to create  

nations of knee jerk reactions full of Pavlovs drooling hounds

and purse strings that are loosened to the constant sights and sounds,

 

Birthing golems of consumption as life is breathed into the clay,

well- known brands etched into foreheads the signs of masters they obey,

moulded images based on trinkets far removed from what we are,

the beauty of compassion lost to the shine of a brand new car

 

A race run seemingly unaware of the track beyond the line

denying the internal in trying to find means to define

webs are severed strand by strand in this focus on the one

whilst the hands that offer solace are those by which we come undone
