Hologram Hero

[craven]

propaganda promotion advertising
the overarching factitious delight
in a world where intellect is agonizing
and the people know neither day nor night.

every new attraction asphyxiates your splendor
and you think you will die if you miss them
follow the easy path and surrender
or raise your fist against the system.

gaudy songs on the left, action movies on the right
you turn around whole and see nothing but light.
and your zombielike face grins silly and dull
while a hologram hero drives right through your skull

hollow your eyes and your gaze
this neverending fun makes you blind
"indifferent" is written on your face
think free and you'll be left behind.
