Last entry from 2020! Yikes... Stuff written since. This is from March this year. Naturally it's been rejected for publication. Clearly that's destroyed me as a writing individual. Didn't tailor it. Just thought "You want this?". And they didn't. Wish I'd posted more stuff on here. But we'll instead rock on with...

 

 

New Subliminal Album

That proletariat act of choice
Put aside what had claimed or earned
Faithful party when always their music
New album sale on the first day
The morning after the overnight
A blurred feeling money exchanged hands
Long ride home from the bus stop
Now safe in room to view the package

Nick a corner peel away gloss lettering
Part of the cover and disguising actual meaning
Paused and then recorded what is happening:

The packaging said first song is "Love"
But when stripped away the cover instead
Just insults a cold and direct
Ignoring own intellect
The packaging read "Sing Here!"
The actual cover instead "Sign held"
That carnival haunted ride light rainbow
Advertised the very first single
Packaging read of the carnival
But the album revealed shopping centre

Switched on electrical signals
There must be people affected by results?
From hand the case slipped 
Over itself somersaulting to floor
How it seemed all slow motion
But just actual use of gravity
And from circumstances of being tall
Damaged both corners on the jewel case
Disc went flying across the floor
The packaging crumpled in hand
That week's chart yet to reveal

How many forced enough times?
Quick to adjust their new line
It made a sense appear kind
That gap before rewind
Because of your comrade action
A unit shifted but only yours defective
The packaging sold it's truth
How it's cover sells the lie

Decades of playing the hit radio classic
"All is peaceful do not attempt panic"
But remember on the packaging
It read "Be inert. Distort reality.
Only focus on the music and singing."
And from the choice other artists
Insist on clear packaging

How small appears the army
But would involve dismantling
The networks and factories
But will never replace
The accidentally smashed jewel case
Lost the packaging
So now will go along with the lie
The album had only two sides

Truth is the ripped cellophane
Ripped apart from the object's lies
It's a new betrayal
And still the option to see it all live
A new album broke ahead chart run
The public turned it's back destroyed
Because the packaging said they were void
That is what their argument
In the music is actually for.
