karmic consequences

despite persuasive rationalization
towards indulging justifications

the abstract system artificial
computation decrees you free of sin

the concrete universality of
inescapable real conclusion
determines thy repentance still
required

the diff reads dissonance,
mismatch false equivalence

which impacts greater the
totality of effect

heaven, earth
legal, just
well, good

time runs out for all deferred
synthetic status
or haven’t you heard
there is good news
only ever been an exception
while you’re eager living rules

ought and owe
not identical

Cognitive Filters

properly calibrate
cognitive filters
that by willful omission
or neurotic denial
a delusion of life is tolerable.

Conditioned switch flipped by the current
paths of natural inclination less resistant
provoked and insisted upon gracious host
fear programming and sexual impulse
cattle prod shock
guide your inhibited decisions
where choice is accepting a fate
