Lotus Eaters
Welcome to the land of lotus eaters
Not the fabled individuals mentioned in the past
The modern equivalent.
Our land is one of a sweeping vista that crashes up against an ancient mountain range
A land that echoes with a sense of expanse and sadness, while we dwell in a dream of bounty…
We revere the large spiritless beasts that roar across the landscape, each with a given name that evokes a false power.
We rise each morning ripe with the frigid air, and it creeps into every aspect of our being
Lights stream in unison as they move in singular lines into a horizon of absolute darkness
All for the sake of contriving the sanctified machine
and securing an immutable future
We are the lotus eaters
delusional, desirous, and derivatives
regressing into a future that no one wants.
