The Jonae Consortium
In a clash of lamination the realisation dawned upon them
"Oh Lord", they clamoured, "why us?"
And such was the word henceforth, "why me"
Reconciled with their deep conviction that, surely
Someone else should stand out
Another to lead the crowd
Astray, away, or even in the right direction
(Don't forget to turn on your signals)
Signalling in exasperation
Grovelling in desperation
(Maybe a new idea for a TV station…)
"Why should it have to be me?"
And they added a second rule for the consortium
Two verses they now had and they spake as one
"Leave me be", well versed indeed they were
Falling out of grace with the word
Inebriated yet dedicated
Stumbling gracelessly, falling
A concrete kiss, smacking of dirt
Slabbed in the face, defaced, defamed
Famous for nowty by nature
Born a dime, died penniless
Penny for your thoughts; mayhap
Each mishap food for thought
Fast food, but at least we're not starving
Characterised by a desire to remain bland
(The golden arches of Ida)
Elevating new heroes of boredom to stand
Amid the crowded fields of the nolifem
Sperm drier than the arid Gobi
Whale over wave, repetitive Moby lay
Dickens' books come to fruition
Boredom crowned the peak of desire
An arousing carousel of carousing
Scavenging every bit of lack of excitement
(A tasteless morsel)
"Please don't make me stand out
Why me? What have I done to deserve this?"
The ever-ringing questions and plea of the
Jonae Consortium
Petty men leading a petty life, striving to remain petty
At least they're having a whale of a time

The City In The Sand
A myth in our midst
Mitigating, midget, of great stature
Sailing the seas of spin, suggestion, suppression and statues
Demiurge embodied
In limestone, celluloid, oppression and lies
An empty space
Concrete pouring
Constructing a façade of civilization
Even a parody of decadence
Stuffing the head of state
The apple in the mouth of madness
Beneath oceans of sand
The illusion becomes the only reality
Asbestos idol
Words smooth, carcinogenic
Dissolving gray matter
Does it really matter when you’re in the (demilitarized) zone?
A holiday for the mind
Keep it happy and it won’t complain
Promise mountains of plated gold
Worship the asbestos idol
Before it sinks beneath the sand

Robbers Cesspool
A new Sherif in town
Crossed the Rubicon cavemen
into elitist distant tantrum
metronomenclature in rabid wholes
Allied barbaric experimental crisis
Like endmills
Perceptive irradiation of irate radicality
Ratifying the end of ratio
Like Milldew
Moist neural masses carambole cessation
in... deflate, indefinite postpone ratio
Predispute, obey
Like Milgram
At the behest of testosterone
Queue in recess
Aggression to be mean-dering, dervish
Spiraling into unreason
Able request
And so the West blessed to rest
A pest, plaguing the mines of starkness ravenous maddness
War in a nutshell-shock
By unbelief
Herodotes inversed
Suffer from children
By bland grief
Innate naturally need to nurture division
Inbre(a)d embedded dictate or children
Engraved in memory
By Sherif
Authorizing autism autonomy
Economy on the rise, ridicule polarizing
Bipolar new order in awe of Der Untergang des Experiments
The devil may know the omens of all that is devious in sapiens
Erectus impregnated with spawn of partisan practices
Locus maledicti (of control)
Like threadmills
Focus of irrationality
Nationwide division
Like millstones
The weight of war watered down
Obey the primal
Like Milgram

Icy Grim MOnOliths
Welcome to this world
Of icy grim monoliths
Ravaging steel wastelands
Filled with glass and stupidity
Welcome to this world
Of ravishing steel towers
Rampant and relentless
Striving for power, hungrily
An everlasting monument
To this human plague
Swarming over the lands
Defiling nature's timeworn sacrament
The ancient ways forgotten
An everlasting ode to greed & avarice
Accomplishing naught but decay
Welcome to this world
Of tarnished glory
Once present all round
Now edified, mummified
Dignified in a mere park
Surrounded by icy grim monoliths
Jagged jaws of iron and steel
Concrete proof for all for all to behold
Earth's fire is growing cold
Its warmth drained by these
Icy grim monoliths
