Breakdown of a Breakup
to break the spell, to bleed us dry
its sun, a serenade that spawns
the cyber cloud we seed with doubt
to fertilise our dreamscape drought
as cynicism suffocates the sky
Free speech translates as data breach
revenge is sweet, but laced with poison
love is always out of reach
a heartbeat on the non-event horizon
Lose innocence, it makes no sense
if weighed against the evidence
our friends and lovers wear pretense
like lawyers citing self-defence
while secrets shared in confidence
are digitised as decadence
and truth defers to inference
A world that wants a signature
from those who deconstruct it
when everything is insecure
and no-one can be trusted
A day like every other yawns
it's just another me me meme
to crush our hopes, to feed us dawns
that promise flights of fantasy
then burn our wings as karma sings
ten thousand variations on a theme
A world of wonder analysed
confessed, repressed or expurgated
everyone is compromised
and nothing that we touch or taste
will satisfy until it's wasted
