Dragging Us Apart

Humanity is built on emotion 
Take emotion away and the result is our society
A city of perfect workers. Efficient, without crime. Perfectly broken.
Without illness, depression or anxiety

Without joy, laughter or passion
With perfect test scores and failed personality tests
Perfected farming to produce the ’perfect’ ration
A city with no room for guests

As we all awake at the crack of dawn
Standing at attention as we swear away our freewill
And proceed to work till the sunlight is gone
Our robotic lives no longer require to kill

Towering spires of the richest stone
Endless fields of failed crop inventions
As another forest dies to our cyclone

As the eyes of our children turn grey
As the streets of our town turn grey
As the bodies of our dead turn grey

We do nothing
We raise at dawn and work till sunset
Like the perfectly broken workers we are

No trees in our town
They are a distraction

No Women outdoors
They are a distraction

No animals outdoors
They are a distraction

Work is Life

Emotions are a distraction

The dead are our future
