Designed Complicity from Extract by Echoes of the Moon

The silence you breed
Sends ripples through all
You believe you are outside
Standing by
The equilibrium is broken
And the path leads to you
Did you say you’ve done nothing?
Then why are we bleeding?
If not you, then another would do it
Is that meant to be a comfort?
You’re acting within a machine
With intent to extract
All that we hold dear
To repackage and sell
What was already ours

No one is responsible
Yet we’re all holding the blade
And we’re all being punctured
While pointing to another
We can try to say no more
But it’ll run us over
If we are too much in its path
We could turn it off
It’s that easy to do

But the wanting consumes
Those who have the most
Today is what matters

Even if tomorrow will kill
It would rather die
From its own work
And take us all with it
Than let itself be cured
