The Act of Laughing in a World Once Beautiful Now Dying

We are living in desolating times
 How can you laugh this loud while this world dies?
 When people are turned into slaves, neither dead nor alive
 Smiling satisfied while living the biggest lies
 Traumatized minds are replaced with cyborg-brains
 They have no names, just numbers
 Blinded by shame
 Their weary bones are crushed by the megamachine
 There is no heaven, but hell
 Just ghosts in their shells
 "The natural world, once untouched wilderness, is degraded
 It is now a gigantic poisoned chunk
 Heap of which resources are extracted
 The only forests left are those of sooted smokestacks
 Not covered by mist, but by toxic clouds of desperation"
 Old growth forests are turned into barren land
 Lush meadows into parking lots
 This society tries to sell everything, until the kids ask
 "Daddy, what's the moon supposed to advertise?"
 "With mass technological society in pathological proportions
 We have developed a world order, which isolates and disorientates us
 It separates us from the natural world, our former home
 Our one true home"
 This is the psychic deplacement
 The trauma, the exile, the alienation
 Which is inherent in civilized life
 This is our homelessness
