Constituted: I. Constitutum

«All that’s solid melts into air, all that’s holy is profaned
At last we’re compelled to face our real conditions of life.»
Constituted Life makes Freedom gasp for air
We reproduce nothing but the wrong state of things
Get me out and get me far away from there
And yet, in resigning from the external world
I am without a cause and fall far from my ‘being-there.'
A familiar warning sounds out, «don't look down.»
We constitute our dreams on the suffering of others
And constitute ourselves on the constant negation of life
Our self-centered dreams turn to ressentiment
Self-centered souls pour themselves out
When they refuse others and bask in the Devil’s dream
The solipsistic reef, a purely constituted phantasy
All are ideological fabrications of bourgeois individualism
The image, which in infancy could be exalting
As a commodity, can only divide and conquer
March back, from meaning to being, and reclaim the start
Fill empty intentions with the Truth they nurture
Destroy dreams which destroy our chance to realize humanity
For the concrete utopian possibility, Constituted Life is Freedom’s death
