The Demonocracy's Dream

1

It all began  with the slow but certain
dropping   of the curtain on reason
       followed without delay
       by a withering campaign  aimed
       at desensitizing a disoriented people;

at inuring
a dumbed-down run-down humanity
       to what would have   until recently
       been unequivocally seen as insanity.


Lied to their faces   again and again
without the faintest of traces of shame
       by teams of elite  gaslighting freaks
       and useful-idiot apparatchik assholes

the plebs were led up the steps
of the Great Reset's camouflaged scaffold

       and even as the ropes
       were slipped 'round their necks
       and their throats felt the pressure

              they were told and re-told
              these tyrannical measures
              were fully for the good of them all

              — even   as the trap door floor
              was about  to give way to space;
              about to launch their terminal fall.


Squarely unaware
of their diabolically-plotted
                     well-dissembled destination
they'd marched in righteous robotic lockstep
to the gaping gates  of Self-Extermination

— marched   as if mindless subservience
were the virtue they held in highest esteem;
as if their god had always been
the pied piper  of all things suitably suicidal
sustainably-synthetic  net-zero  fake-green;

marched
as though nothing gave them more pleasure
than pleasing  their prison-planet masters
who no matter how vile
they'd been trained to see as their betters.

Mercifully
much of the above was only a dream
because something unforeseen
by the techno-utopian planners
had happened on the way to the gallows;

       because   while all the paid-for whores
       that formed the mockingbird media
       were dutifully on board
              — as were of course
              the gamut of parasitic classes —

the far larger part
of the lower-class masses
— sensing something was darkly amiss —
had refused to join the ruinous march
to the promised heart of decarbonized bliss.
