Conjoined protractors
measure proclivity
in inverse parallels,
negating the subjugated need.
If only the conquerors
Had similar technology,
perhaps we’d not be buried
in the vast electric haze.
When thinking is a shock,
the system must shut down,
allowing present currents
to prevail unopposed.
And in unfettered quantities,
oppression can be static,
a blanket of false charges
like a constant grid
of automatic doom.
