Between the Dying and the Dead |
Zombified workaholics labouring |
Turning this malediction into voluptuousness |
Satisfied with worthless achievements |
Soul-destroying and trivialising |
Making us impersonal |
Adopting life styles that we do not like |
Soldiers, slaves to consumer society |
Transformed into objects without a spirit |
In pursuit of temporal goods |
Moving away from the inaccessible eternity |
We are but frantic zombies |
Consumers of flesh in all its forms |
Satiating day after day our vile needs |
Repeating the same empty gestures |
In an unconscious funeral march |
I’m searching in vain for a metaphysical link |
Between our most repetitive acts |
Those marking the rhythm of our day |
And that certainty of nothingness |
Breaking through my insomnia |
We live in the shadow of death |
We’re worshiping it behind derived imagery |
From crucifix to images of God |
From labour to our foolish amusements |
Without knowing that death is guiding us |
We’re continuously running away from it |
Giving meaning to our lowest acts |
But suffering from all sorts of sickness |
There is a time at which one must die to remain worthy |
The fear of void in our hearts |
Afflicted souls refusing the inescapable nature of death |
We are aimlessly wandering |
With the sour taste of a meaningless life |
Into the anteroom of Nothingness |
Between the dying and the dead |
