In a single day,
one must wake,
while sleep was hard to come by.

Apocryphal dreams,
the fall of humanity.
A shattering of the reality,
we now know.

Fearful warriors,
trying to protect their truths.
Conditioned in a lie,
they clung to.

Muse forgotten,
chores to be done.
Work on many levels,
to feed the machine.

Crank the financial engine,
the most important motor,
it sustains most human life
