Internal surveillance
original sin
moral of law
confessions of men
project of discipline
utopian government
plague-stricken dream
total confinement
house of correction
punish the poor
normalization
chained to the floor
bedlam to prison
asylum to pill
chemical narrative
gaze over will
nasty, brutish, and short
submit to power
central spirit
always watching
faceless unreason
totalitarian mode
confine the unwanted
negation of agency
leviathan gaze
sword and crosier
gun and baton
monarch militia
correctional officers
always watching
always watching
submit to power
submit to power
leviathan gaze

PANOPTICISM
02:29
|
|||
deprived of choice
fiat experimentum
i’m scared to fix my stare
i’m scared to look away
a liminal torture
obscured by the mundane
invaded every night
by the glow of a screen
tethered to a lifeworld
severed by compliance
grind the rogues
fiat experimentum
worthless bodies
deviancy
down on your knees
panopticism
live in fear
fiat experimentum

ZONE OF ABANDONMENT
02:45
|
|||
shooting dope
on the train
sleep all day
wake in pain
abscess arm
thrown in jail
snorting xanax
in a cell
hospitalized
navane dose
methadone
diagnose
under the expressway
cop cars flash
throwing belongings
in the trash
and i’d rather be dead
my arm’s infected and my mouth tastes like lead
i’m lost and hurting and i’m ready to die
nobody cares about me why do i try
no utility
human economy
reduced to commodity
no autonomy
clean up the streets
abuse is discrete
zone of abandonment
beds of concrete
