In dreams I perceive
Fragments of machinery
Scattered all over
Factory floors. In the blue
Distance: tolling bells.
The ancient pictures are torn
From the temple walls.
The ghosts of blood stained martyrs
Haunt the alley ways
And vast, abandoned buildings.
No new flowers grow,
The eyes are always watching
From metal towers.
The truth is always hidden
From the citizens.
The silence is deafening
In the control room.
Orders are simply obeyed.

Reminds me of George Orwell's 1984 in its stark, stripped down resonance. You can forever hear the drab, well worn and washed out colour grey banging its after the epoch drum. Truly unsettling Dominic. Loved it! And a full score and added to my future dark disturbing terrors vault. Many thanks and take care good sir.
