The Slow Readers Club - No Surprise

My surrender is complete, whatever fate decrees,
all hope and fear and life and death in symmetry.

See light through crooked trees,
through charlatans and thieves,
as algorithms filter our reality.

And so it came as no surprise,
that each of us had lived a lie.

I scaled the highest peak,
the scene defies belief,
looked out on all the horrors of humanity.
A vile and vivid dream their greed was so obscene,
all men conspire to cultivate a tragedy.

And so it came as no surprise,
my mouth was shut, my hands were tied.
A little love would serve us well,
a stitch in time, toll of the bell.

Talk technicolour, the truth is uncovered,
I'm sick and I'm starting to shake.
Sluggish for days now I step through
the haze I'm awake, I'm awake.

A little love would serve us well,
