Towards Purity
Towards purity you strive and you will see*
The essence of humanity does not rhyme well
In this machinery
Your emotions
Are obstacles for the corporate machine
A key to success
Soon you are there
Excitement turns to apathy
Dreams so far away
Not meant for this state of efficiency
Colleagues turn to numbers
In an equation of stocks
No such thing as friends anymore
Just parts in a complex engine
I see your future now
so vividly
Resentment, fear and loneliness I see
An old, bitter man
living in excess
in every aspect but love
in echoing halls of wealth
Most people see a luxurious palace
and dream of it
I see a mausoleum
a tomb for a deserted soul
