Paradigms - Extol

The worship of creation

Seeming endless

But it will end

And every knee shall bow

Thoughts of a coincidental existence

And a futureless world corrodes into the

Spinal chord of the narcissistic man

A paradigm shift for worse

My ego is my god

Given authority by the enlightenment

Of science

The enlightenment of the age of freedom

Freedom — the name in which we legalize all

The name in which we tolerate all

Credibility for truth, image for substance

Weakness and failure

Unbearable elements in life

Subtly opposed through an endless flow of

Constantly replaced trends, neither allowed

To mature nor to fade

The surroundings

A mirror reflecting the signals

Of admiration that makes my identity

A constant egocentricity providing a

Purging of anything threatening popularity

The peak of this shallowness

Displayed by the so-called stars

In their quest for self-actualisation

This beautiful people experiencing

The illusion of narcissistic prosperity

Uncritically and boundlessly admired

Simply for their own sake
