A Retro Future
Crowds of billions shuffle,
Tilt their heads up to the stars.
The silverscreen, a spokesman,
Looms with eyes that pierce through them.
Praise government's creation, spitting words of affirmation,
In the eyes of children dreaming of afar.
A city of solution.
Businessmen kiss the streets,
Suited up and ego stretched,
they hope to build a new sky-
A mirror in which the city lights reflect.
Days are painted gold,
By papers new and old.
A future built and promise to accept
People sit and gather,
To talk about the new god-
How they felt his holy presence kill the old,
The youth, flowers of his creation.
With eyes like moons, they wish to be consoled.
