Dandy

The reflector of all
So naked and brutal
This violence and flatness
Of who we are
No space no spirit
High impact access
To anyone's display
The fabric of
Our favorite games

Master manipulator
Making it far these days
Serial imagery
Obsessed with projection

Dandy watching the world burn
With screen mastery
Are these the signs of our times

To some the stuff of nightmares
Which became our dream
Change anyone's perspective
With a powerful idea
It could be a vulgar joke
So complicated in its implication
Simple form and content shaped

By the pains of hostility
The loneliness of vanity
Master manipulator
Making it too far these days

Dandy watching the world burn
With screen mastery
Are these the signs of our times

The moment he stopped caring
They began to care more
Utopia for the narcissist
Strings held by the nihilist
A perfect frame for the capitalist
Evaluating emptiness

Fabricated, laminated
Shallow exterior
The fascist, the idealist
The racist, the humanist
The rapist, the realist
The activist, the pacifist
The futurist, aristocrat,
The rebel, the diplomat
