Potemkin cityscapes,
Garish in ostentation.
Standardize banalities,
Expression nonexistent.

Flow of society,
Chosen direction.
Currents pull under,
Restless agitation.

Nails get hammered,
Flat against the board.
Smoothed with polish,
Glued to their holes.

Oxygen dwindling,
Gasping for difference.
Experiments cause explosions,
Laboratories mean danger.

Pluralities wreak havoc,
New ways of seeing.
Conflicting minds wander,
Lost in the churn.
