Swarming Opulence (redux 1924)

Exalted golden creature Impure ungrateful Bright shining spectacular We are useless to ourselves Plenty of time, youth, the vambrace of our eternity The sky no longer the limit A sea of iron and energy Gaze down at the fleshy drones Black smog and sentient gears Swarming opulence Begs our weak hungry minds Greater than man Higher than God Greater than man Higher than God Greater than man Higher than God Greater than man Higher than God Swarming Opulence, that which never stops consuming We forget our lavish life And seek luxury in death Emptiness through decadence And madness through beautiful greed
