A Not So Wonderful World
The Average Dystopian Society
"What you need," the Savage went on, "is something with tears for a change. Nothing costs enough here."
Is the Modern Day World a Dystopia?
The government seems to have its eyes everywhere. They have access to everything that we have ever done on the internet. Right now they could pull up a list of every site I have accessed since forever. The moment a person of suspected of terrorism, they have no rights. That person are sent to the middle of nowhere to be tortured and never heard of again. The Due Process Clause never kicks in for them.
The CIA admitted to severely torturing people in its custody. That is a violation of human rights and a violation of almost every moral code known today. They treated those people unhumanly by depriving them of basic bodily necessities such as sleep, food, treatment, etc. The government does not necessarily need to go that far.
Science might be taking us down the wrong road. I read that people are starting to clone organs and animals. Recently this has even extended to human infants. Human infants that will probably be used to test everything on. It’s a horrifying concept and really shouldn’t happen. Those clones are human too.

Dare ni mo miserarenai mono atama no naka afurete
Machigai sae mo nai sekai e mayoikonderu
Things that I can’t show to anyone are flooding my mind
I’ve gone lost in a world where not even mistakes exist
Arienai hodo surikomarete
Me ni mieru mono dake no “sekai” genshou
Abakidaseru kana
This is a “world” phenomenon where only the visible things are real
and that has been rubbed in to an unbelievable degree
So can I expose it for what it is?
Plastic Tac Tic mou dare mo okashiku narenai yo
Kisama mo plastic beautiful world
Utsukushisugiru sekai ni boku wa nazeka hikari ga mienakute
Haretsu shite iku kokoro ga mugen no rifurekushon
Plastic Tac Tic, no one can be driven insane anymore
You’re also in this plastic beautiful world
In a world that’s too pretty, I can’t see the light for some reason
and my rupturing heart is an infinite reflection
secret remains for you misekake no iro to mirai o abakanaide
fake’s plastic world keep it secret motion
secret remains for you, don’t expose the fake colors and the future
fake’s plastic world, keep it secret motion
Himitsu-meite tojikomerarete
Me ni mieru mono sae mo boku no fake show
Shinjitsu no ribaasu sa
Secretive and confined
Even the visible things are my fake show
They’re the reverse of the truth
Telecastic Tac Tic
Mou subete futsuu ni mieru deshou?
Ijou na plastic normal world
Muhyoujou sugiru sekai ni mugen no rifurekushon
Telecastic Tac Tic
Everything seems to be normal by now, right?
The abnormal plastic normal world
is an infinite reflection of the world that’s all too emotionless
Koko wa sude ni gestalt illusion dare mo nani mo ga barabara de
Horoguramu no naka o zenbu shinjitsu-iro ni somete iku
This place is already a gestalt illusion; every single person and thing is separated
and dyes all in the color of the truth inside the hologram
Subete o abakeba kioku ga ima o utte bokura wa kizuite shimau yo
secret remains for you, fake’s plastic world
We’ll notice that if we expose everything, memories will shoot apart the present
Shinjitsu ni sae obiete shimau
Me ni mieru mono dake no “sekai” genshou
Nisemono ga te o tsunaide subete o utsushiteru tte
Everything is turned inside-out and the illusion is already at the end
So I’m even scared of the truth
This is a “world” phenomenon where only the visible things are real
Where falsehoods go hand in hand, reflecting everything
Dare ni mo mitasarenai mono atama no naka afurete
Demo koko ga boku no ibasho naraba mitasanai kara
Things that no one can satisfy are flooding my mind
But if this is where I belong, that’s not enough for meWhy abnormalize fits in with Brave New World
GMOs and GMPs
In terms of GMPs, they should be treated like normal humans. Recently, several genetically modified babies were born and are most likely to be used as a part of some form of testing. Such things are despicable.
