The Conditions of Living
Elizabeth Moroz 1982 (Perth)
The Conditions of Living
Stark organisations of my observations
Respond to beauty with pure elation
Instead of chronic devastation
Process the abject consternation
From contrived over-saturation
And acute mass manipulation
That should be in legal confiscation
Truth found by way of emancipation
Rise above the adversity and degradation
Overcome the uncertainty of racial segregation
As you extract the urgency of the next infiltration
And detract from the perversity of the arrogant indignation
And avoid the poignant topics of required conversation
In the interest of pure self - preservation
Don’t orchestrate to confiscate the critical information
Embrace the heights of potential with great elevation
Accept the wrong inconsequential social invitation
Reject the addictive nature of the selfish inclination
To facilitate someone else’s self-emancipation
Apply for some serious re-evaluation
Don’t let the train leave the gosh darned station
Unless he receives a standing ovation
Allow for the astronomers to make their notations
And for letting the literature fill in the quotations
While the bird flocks head south for winter migration
Martin Friedman the economist and the cost of inflation
The mathematical universe expresses in summation
A less than pleasant suggestive unwelcome connotation
A cynical approach to mass evaluation
An organised attempt at spiritual consecration
A criminal activity that needs no instigation
A mathematical probability that requires calculation
A multitude of Business Titles looking for amalgamation
A season of vicious cycles vying for consideration
A mimick of a gimmick doing cheap impersonations
A complete reassessment of your professional qualifications
A refined quantum theory defined by specific scientific evaluations
Timothy Leary on acid having hallucinations
A cult leaders classic psychological misconfugurstions
An avid readers logical refined and opinionated considerations
A baby giraffe learning to stand and acquire physical co-ordination
A ship returning to land following long maritime regulations
A child holding my hand among frightening configurations
The Hague Court of Human Rights and the United Nations
The brave fought for their sight among oppressive populations
A wave of delight as she lights up a star constellation
A grave request for respite among sincere commiserations
The length of a moment extended by violent altercations
The strength of a migrant involved in peaceful negotiations
The way a vulnerable human approaches a situation
An insurmountable solution that requires intellectual propagation
A celestial cartographic map that requires astronomical navigation
A contested truth on fire with diabolical verbal pronunciations
A loyal friends minder giving his warm salutations
A royal insider selling snippets of misinformation
A committed provider of family deliberation
An acquitted divider of controversial legislation
A high end designer of complex structural complication
The right lens of insiders perpetuating polluted convolution
The mad bend of cognitive dividers orchestrating mass confusion
The technological communicators that normalise artificial infusions
The brazen neuro-configurations of those living through their own delusions
The sacred joining of two souls when a true love is in unison
The redeeming sacrament and sentiment of Holy Communion
The unseeming cultural coagulant that perpetuates this illusion
A fractured bone starting to propagate a painful contusion
Another that instigated a woefully misshapen portrusion
A team that operates best when in constant collusion
Redeem the East and the West as they vie for internationally recognised seclusion
Esteem for the test that is a lack of inclusion
Convinced to invest in the time space continuum
Rethink the contest in line with what you become
