what you've become (an ode to power) 

This is what you've become
Your fear fueled by fire made from dinosaurs and forests
digitized and sanctified by markets and their forces
again
and again
And this is what we've become
Living in your boxes made of stories to survive
while losing all relation to what tells us we're alive
We sink
or swim
What have you got to lose?
All control that's ruled by fear
and all the building blocks of hatred
would be a start if we could choose.
So how can we break this spell?
Riding progress like an arrow dipped in poison over centuries
mining heaven, building hell
This is what you've become
Given all the lifetimes that it took to bring us here
you'd think that you would learn that only love can overcome
this fear
you hide
