Golden Caesar mobbed before Self-God Augustus dictated,
Vassal Herod dazzled while cunning Pilate kept up maneuver,
And deceptive Judas got cross after saintly Jesus spoke truth.
Â
But cut from stone till its crack, Rome bureaucratized brutally on.

Politicians, without connection to the rally of everyday people,
Which is only achieved by offering people true deals of dignity,
And by interacting in their messy streams of consciousness,
Will reveal themselves to be useless charlatans during crisis.
Â
For they will have no means to stop the popular intoxication,
No army of labour to unleash stomping for life’s renewal way,
No voices to sing hopeful songs that ward off evil wordplay,
No popularity to call upon to gain the growing momentum.
This last century has been the first ebb of our ‘system’,
That click of numbers seeking quantification of all matter,
The process that has been birthing a planetary civilization,
Learning first lesson of containment, the assembly of body.
Â
For we exponentialed within a century,
And from it, the system added a body:
Â
The timing clock of industrial workers,
The welfare regiments marching wars,
The manufacture of market consumers,
The essentialization of the inner mind,
The knowledge of integrated production,
The cultural metros of a spacey society,
The expressions of a liberated individual.
Â
And now, at this tipping point, where earthen body is fast spent,
This system will switch to learn its second major lesson with us,
For it has our body in its need, as it has this planet by its greed,
And will now find its pathways to inners of mental containment.
Â
The environment requiring we breathe it,
The laws a political social is restrained for,
The corps growing for a planetary exodus,
The transformation of mind upon a body,
The memory of a past cultural dispersion,
The networks watching every connection,
The cloud mind orchestrating a revolution.
