the ignorant savants episodes

  • cultural spa time
    extemporaneously
    Culture spa
    Time to go to the spa

    Time to purge my body, spirit, and mind

    Time to go to the culture spa

    Time to kick the system

    Before I go deaf, dumb, and blind
    All my life I tried my best

    To take in all that’s good
    
I ate my fruits and vegetables

    Avoided processed foods
    But everywhere I look around

    There’s emptiness on display

    A diet of commercial feelings

    Fed to me every day
    
Toxic, sweetened emotions
    
Manipulative devotion

    Political snake-oil potions

    Sold as cures for the nation

    Mogging, maxxing, self-abuse

    Punch-me—in-the-face-for-beauty delusions
    
Every kind of crazy notion

    Masquerading as anomie solutions
    
All my life I tried my best

    To do what’s kind and good

    Said my prayers, bit my tongue

    Like they schooled us that we should
    But everywhere I turn my head

    regressive religion and culture rules

    Not rogue enough, not mean enough

    To qualify as “cool”
    Not selfish, sharp, or ruthless

    Not chasing power’s wake

    Not hollowed out and grifting

    Every person for my take
    Jesus Christ
    unplug the mirrors

    the dopamine machines
    
Drain the noise from the bloodstream
    
Wash eyes clean
    I don’t need another branding
    to tell me who I am

    I’m washing out the poison

    Humankind is not from a can.
    
Time to go to the spa

    Time to purge my body, spirit, and mind

    Time to go to the culture spa

    Time to kick the system

    Before I go deaf, dumb, and blind

  • receding shadows
    the long deep darkness gives way to light
    the rising of consciousness puts an end to the night
    the Denisons of Hatred have given up their fight
    the morning has come into sight.
