The magic that people take for granted
& the expectations we veneer on
Grow a counterfeit tree of life planted
With which the devil can the naïve con
The splendid abundance some of us know:
Empty calories to the starving man
There’s a different system to feed the soul
I’m uncertain of the ultimate plan

Unending discursive efficiencies
Where we perform obedient displays
Of humanity’s deficiencies
Descartes supposed the “Evil Deceiver”
Who can’t be cut from us with a cleaver
