Fatigued followers of asset bubbles
Conditioned adherence to
The benevolence of algorithms
The age of 24.7 news cycles
Before your shift starts blink
once miss the next Color revolution

Then again pop another
Xanax the daily staple
Of civilization whose elites
Have seamlessly institutionalized
And whose subjects have
Internalized the age of anxiety

In that ephemeral lucid moment
When introspection paradoxically
Calls...it's such an alien voice
It's instantly exiled by the
Familiar comforts of dysfunction
celebrities packaged as brands

The sweet escape of the simulacrum
virtual reality's bread and circuses

delivered in digital bits link us

to another post modern stage
whereon voyeurism clings to 

the core of the Human condition

Critical masses of Voyeurs 

positioned by design 

to consume regime changes
as fait accompli of expired
Brands but rest not eternal
Hegemonic power moves in
Smooth synthetic manichean steps

Empires in denial invoke the

Humanitarian interventions

as tests of this generation

Disguising the stage managed
Protests dulling the embellished
Rhetoric of morally charged narratives

Thus scripted stooges moved 

To the center projecting
Faces of flash mobs seemingly 

organizing in organic rhythm

led by the personal calls 

of their collective consciousness 

20th century liberation movements

named themselves..Viet Cong..

Sandinistas...Shining Path...

today in real time irony 

mainstream media legitimizes

movements with saintly memes

In the staged controlled zeitgeist 

instant regime change blurs

the provincial into the universal 

Fuck the EU..Freedom to Maidan
Sanction the Kremlin while Svoboda and
Bandera photo shopped from the present

Snipers firing bullets into crowds
demonstrators died for the cause
of independence invoked by all
though few concur on its meaning
no causal investigations only a-priori
accusations establishing the narrative

Robustness of Social media casts
layman as faux-ministers of information
along the horizontal and within

a hierarchy the empire inverts
facts into mass propaganda polishing
coups re-branded as freedom movements

the force of this power projection
reveals compulsive conceit  manipulating
regimes as functional pieces on
a Grand Chessboard prompting
non-ideologues seeing this
pathological order from Pax Americana

puppets of the military industrial complex
see no hypocrisy in pursuit of deposing
Yanukovych it enables neo-fascist
recrudescence which reveals one
instance of agents of realpoltick
expressing their empire's dying whimper

"Winners write History" but who
wins when an empire risks
World War III in the streets
of Independence Square?
9-11 rests in America's conscience
while it slept on 2-23-2014 and thereafter
