In the Absence of the Sacred

Violence, a natural reaction in a society

Whose advances are limited to its new technology

Different only in the current mode of destructive intent

Data has replaced real life in this world

No hope for the stop of progress

Inevitable bio-link implant

Will replace the feel of human touch

All memory surrogates downloaded

Bought and sold, no true sense of self

Impending sensory death looming near

A number, this is what you've become

Life digitized itemized commodified

Ha, ha, ha, this is what you work for
