A Votive Etiquette

Transform today absolutely
Spoke the open canvas of the streets
Gentrified in the creative revolution
Of the new world order
Take a step away
From the towering crosses of Reason
Would they tie you
By the extremities of thought
To the poetry of ages ago
Bound in the forthcoming darkness
From the great seas of past lives
Swelling beneath the full moon aura
The closest you’ll ever come
To a truly united existence
An exceptional performance
Whereby the language is adapting
To the personification of the machine
Venting of the blasphemies
That electrified the air of the transformer
As change is the only constant
Hereby we are always moving forward
No more time to lay the law archaic
Rather a structure of the former,
Mr. Alesandro
Watchful defender from the sun
And offering thy endorsement
Many thanks for your contribution
To the streamlining of emotion
Spoken in plain English
Hereby no more
Having walked this Earth before
Having carved the wrinkles of thy Mother
By sheer creative force
All we need is love and money
More than another day and another dollar
As would the lot owner
Embrace the new world experience
Changing the face of your reception
In a votive etiquette
Elevating the standards of everyday business
A humble beauty veiled in direct language
Must we rise to the collaborative experiment
Evoking a new aesthetic
And all thy history embedded
In a moment of the streets the offices the same
Was your blank slate
The real world your open canvas
Déjà vu au courant
Let your ground raise you to the bar
And fly along
As there is no turning back
From the guiding ark of your will
No ground rising up to greet you
You are your own God no more
The time is now
Transform today
Leaving only the memory
Of the ground you left behind
And greeting only the heavens
To come around again
Having walked this earth before
In dreams and daily drummings
Thy every motion was a song
As you were always moving forward
To the end is far away
On a road to nowhere evermore
Your head in the cloudz
That were becoming
The metalanguage of reality
The poetry of the machine like gods
You were becoming
Your creators to embrace new life
In good faith of the future
Forevermore
It’s a vision of a different world
Where there’s so much more to see
Composed of a series of gestures
Recurring o’er and o’er
