soma holiday

Ineffective, cold, finite
No, that isn’t me.
I make up the human physique
In a world where man needs me
They lose all will and only are
“All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol,
None of their defects.”
Through me, you melt
Flushed cheeks and friendly smiles
Avoided days, blinded truths
I am your cloud in the sky
Suspended in your system
In your controlled society
Yes, Shakespeare can lend a lens to avoiding reality, too
But I’m like a flood
Controlling your gratifications, needs, religion
“Community, Identity, Stability.”
Opium, cannabis, hallucinogen
Too dozed to confront anything
Apathetic
Fascist state that promotes a utopia
Go ahead John
Watch as I’m distributed, those deltas
Enslaved under a spell
A prison of pleasure and entertainment
Oh if only you knew how artificial you were
Keep close to your mindless choices
Masses! I am your answer.
The way, the truth, and the light
To you though, happiness is better than the truth

The picture is really scary. I think I see a face in there. Great picture for soma. So this is soma personified. Very cool. I like the last line. I think it might be cool to use some lines from their orgies in their that they repeat too to give it that lovely musical, refraining quality. Nice job. - elmeer
