Camera Obscurer

I conform to the structure of my land
I am a product of my environment
A loyal subject to the construction of reality
I plead ignorance when suffocated by enlightenment
I occupy space
therefore I am

Existence becomes intoxicated by my Capitalist society
This expansive culture seeps into the rivers of our minds
and quenches our thirst

I am the signifier and the signified
An illusive being bound by the constraints of my own mind
Reflection distorts my real
While the seduction of interpellation leaves me cold
unfulfilled
Posing towards the lens of my obscured reality
Created by a higher power
raping me of will
bleeding illusion all over my soul
