Don’t Spill The Water
Sepia, tin and glass
Black and white complacent
Reality alludes like a headless chicken.
And AI holds the axe
Spilling the water
As the graves cry out chanting
DIY! DIY! DIY!
The people cry out in unison
No! No! No!
Giving off a rhythmic chant – DIY, NO! DIY, NO! DIY, NO!
Comes a rope
To grasp or to hang from
Hang! Cries AI
The snake in the well
Is calling your name
His bite is real,
The only reality left
In a world of fabricated mess
Don’t spill the water
No turning back
The chip is in too deep!
Find the one, with the scar on his head
Who holds no snap deceptive
Who’s never spilled the water
Nowhere to run or hang
We’ve spoiled the spoils
We’ve spilled the water
Requiem for the people
