Dystopia

Lorenz

I am the actor of a soul-stealing comedy

in which well-bred avatars ,court seductive 

models ,mass-produced by the happiness 

food chain ...

  Love is mandatory ! 

Doubt is a betrayal !

  Beware high-risk screening !

My mental wandering reflects the haunting

emptiness of a mask in quest of a face...

  Mirrors are loyal servants .

They know the other side of the picture 

of that other you .

  So good,so gentle ,softening the harshless

of your dreams ...

   don't lose your way down 

the path to dementia !

Reason is a deadly addiction...

 Mirrors are  silent  observers .

  They fil away the records of desperate shadows

that refuse to come into the light .

 The eco-psy ,looked at me 

with a compassionate expression 

and prescribed a course of rehab at Phobos 

covered by insanity health insurance.

 I am not a poet who writes verses to the glory

of divine mechanics .

I don't believe in the truth of alternative lies .

I reject the conventions of the sacred techno.

 I've been flagged for a concerning numbers

of prohibited words .

  I'm probably a genetic anomaly 

conceived during an apocalyptic road trip 

in the truth ...

  But I know,it's already to late to escape normality...

  No mirror looks into me anymore .

And that other self of mine is swept away by the reality.

 Manufacturing error of a dystopian world ...

On Phobos, I 'll finally  be allowed to be afraid ...

    Lorenz, this speaks to me. I've always been drawn to works that blur the line between satire, philosophy, and surrealism. The references to avatars, algorithms, normality, and Phobos create a world that feels strange while remaining uncomfortably familiar. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
