Gods in Glass (Acceptance)

Streetlights blink like dying gods,

Neon temples, digital frauds.

We built gods in glass and chrome,

But forgot to make the streets feel home.

Rome built walls - we built firewalls,

And both collapsed when justice falls.

You say progress - I see rust,

Shiny screens but broken trust.

We mapped the stars, we cloned the sheep,

But left our daughters scared to sleep.

Every headline screams too late,

Another life beneath the state.

You call it news, I call it proof -

That silence costs more than the truth.

You pledge allegiance to the feed,

Scroll past pain you'll never read.

You can track a rocket to the moon,

But not the scream outside your room.

Predator state - steel and gold,

Sells us freedom, keeps control.

You crown the wolves, call them wise,

While the prey learns how to die.

Predator state - bright disguise,

Top of charts, but truth still cries.

You built a world where I can't run,

Safety sold beneath the gun.

Ancient queens once held the throne,

Now we're told to walk alone.

Athena's torch became a phone,

S.O.S. through broken tone.

You call it equal - I call it game,

A mask of virtue, rigged in shame.

Justice sleeps while profits wake,

Empires thrive on what they break.

You can 3D print a beating heart,

But can't protect one torn apart.

Rome fell once - you'll fall again,

History loops the same old sin.

From temples crowned in blood and glass,

To hashtags fading twice as fast.

Predator state - iron law,

Hide the truth beneath applause.

Sell the pain, erase the face,

Manufacture moral grace.

Predator state - the mask we wear,

Fake compassion, vacant stares.

Top of charts, but soul's misplaced,

You call it peace - I call it waste.
