Facial Recognition Blues

 

Facial Recognition Blues

 

Physicists speculating about a cosmic hologram 

Anarchists debating about the next message from Uncle Sam

The archaic ageing of the technology of the Telegram

An innocent waiting for an answer from an Annogram

 

Images of scientific breakthrough projected onto a screen 

Lineages of ancient history documented by a well structured meme

Silhouettes of a symphony expressed in classical themes 

Pirouettes of a dancer expressing her physical dream 

 

Instant facial recognition at the local petroleum station 

Distant ignition of a motor designed for mechanical elation 

Vincent Van Goh without his human ear awaiting non-contamination

Stringent processes for fiscal accountability awaiting mass configuration 

 

An ominous sound bellowing out from a lonely cello

A omnivorous hound yelling out the sound of “hello”

A discourteous round shot out of the mouth of the mellow

That song by Coldplay -you know the one that they called “Yellow”?

 

Can you see the beauty of your most recent failure forming?

Do you feel the energy shift when dawn turns into morning?

Have you seen the tired child overworked from labour yawning?

Did you hear the broken poet howling sadness out as her calling?

 

Fundamentalist extremists theorising about their obsessions

Confrontationalist activists eschewing material possessions

An environmentalist prophesising scientifically based confessions 

A conversationalist espousing verbal directives and regressions

 

Would you exchange your ideology for the sake of monetary gain?

Could you pertain to philosophically abandon your perception of pain?

Or would you abstain from phenomenologically documenting the acid rain?

Or could you categorically state that you’d like to decide before you refrain?

 

Precision elements of reflective detail in recollection 

Decisions and components of defective mobilisation in your direction

Narcissus falling in love with himself, staring at his own reflection 

Self-confidence that is so pure and strong that it is beyond external correction. 

 

Humanitarian aid distributed fairly with efficiency and action

Egalitarian ways ignited by early proficiency and dissatisfaction

A Libretarian on display as surely as a well defined mathematical protraction 

A maternity ward without a doctor waiting for the next contraction 

 

Remember what the cost was when you held corruption to account ?

Dismember all that’s been lost when you want to make it count ,

Engender memories of the Holocaust as you view Auschwitz from a mount 

Contender for the Nobel Peace Prize focusing on all that’s paramount
