Towards Purity - Anachronaeon

Towards purity you strive and you will see

The essence of humanity does not rhyme well

In this machinery

Your emotions

Are obstacles for the corporate machine

Your flaws well hidden

A key to success

Soon you are there

Excitement turns to apathy

Dreams so far away

Not meant for this state of efficiency

Colleagues turn to numbers

In an equation of stocks

No such thing as friends anymore

Just parts in a complex engine

I see your future now

So vividly

Resentment, fear and loneliness I see

An old, bitter man

Living in excess

In every aspect but love

A well hidden diminished being

In echoing halls of wealth

Most people see a luxurious palace

And dream of it

I see a mausoleum

A tomb for a deserted soul
