about

long time ago, we’ve lost the genetic lottery
staring into mirrors, reflections reflect sadly
primitive instincts, collective empathy quite jittery
life opportunities chased away, giggling madly

“those were the days”, you share one of your regrets
while overflowing the meniscus in my broken glass
searching for oblivion until this year’s sun sets
in the sea of whiskey, minds and time have passed

and then mandatory televisions’ static roar
“An Hour of Beauty, Sex and Limitless Freedom!”
we get up shyly and slowly peek out of the door
dystopian hopelessness, Love has become a Demon

the screen explodes, she beares a smoking gun
an acrid smell, electronic corpse falling down
“enough of these lies, post-human artificial fun
it cannot be, isn’t humanity’s sword yet drawn?

today, every household has a very special Book
conspiracy in words for enlightened minority
alas, encryptions in Book’s pages bear little hope
and won’t stop the animal tendency for cruelty

in an unknown dialect, one million pleading words
artists and heroes translate it, after years still scrappy
futile attempts, Despair laughs while playing doubtful chords

the Book’s title simply reads: “Here’s How To Be Happy”
