The Spectacle of Manipulation
In order to justify existence,
To give purpose to our reality,
We created styles of omnipotence
That dictate the path of morality.
Manufactured images bridled in
The power and pomp of fascination
Define for us our conceptual sins
And our spiritual incarnations.
We substitute our souls at the altar,
Bowing to idols and icons galore,
Effacing God with His own avatar,
Ignoring wonders we ought to adore.
Thus, we hinder becoming transcendent
By simulating what is transplendent.
