Dividing of Us

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published



A future engineered 
by the ones who fear life itself.

A future designed
from the bunker on biased ideology.

A future where hatching,
evolving,
escaping—
became unfeasible.

A future for those who shape it,
and for those who are shaped 
to serve the future.

Innovation without empathy,
a vision without a witness.

Here you don’t hear,
you don’t say,
you obey.

This tingling tyranny,
this well-funded,
ill-minded force.

This dream 
of the one percent,
slowly shaping us,
brutally breaking us—
driving us,
dividing us.
