The hoards are restless again
this is apparent because paradox rules
middle dread with employment abated
being cast down to forgotten fools
who once there become the enemy hated
the same who yesterday were friends
cannot veer from sauve-qui-peut status
to disturb the creed of them and us
class is divided at the water’s surface
middle and rich like mammals and fish

middle clings to their idol’s pant legs
whose wealth a glow of admiration
hope that similarly will be endowed
instead are shaken off in agitation
narcissism disdains their adoring crowd
the lesser likewise grovel more
kick and scream at their own kind
cannot stand the thought of assimilation
deserved fate of their neighbor’s decline
emulation in this world is identification

information in real time narrows separation
individual from the feared and reviled collective
corporate man verses our own facebook vermin
class laws morphing fast to influence perspective
not enough time to pull back and examine
shock and awe from media temple
one face of script then assumes agenda
armchair information cut by half
facebook consumed with instant pleasure
corporate man anoints his golden calf

enemy of the state is class emulsification
enemy of self interest is greed
enemy of our peers is self loathing
enemy of perception is paradox
enemy of desire is results
enemy of progress is progress
enemy of fixation is saturation
enemy of the soul is ego
enemy of the earth is man
enemy of God is praise
