“They hand you a menu of options,
let you pick the color of your cage,
convince you that choosing between A or B
is autonomy.
But no one tells you —
A and B were designed by the same hand.”

“Social Criticism:
«Del sepulcro umbrío de la corrupción es la prole de Sión, si entre edictos favorables heredasteis más tierras que el sedicioso Sileo, arduos fines son de desempeñar las discrepancias más empíreas, las que atañen a esa conspicua excepción de lo honorable y distinguido, y que es por obra y gracia el Elegido»
Answer:
La cita se dirige a los poderosos de la sociedad. Les dice que, aunque hayan heredado sus riquezas y tierras gracias a edictos favorables, sus acciones son injustas. También sugiere que los poderosos son como el sedicioso Sileo, que se aprovechó de su poder para enriquecerse. La cita es una crítica a la corrupción y a la injusticia en la sociedad. La sociedad necesita un cambio, y ese cambio solo puede venir por obra y gracia de una figura mesiánica o "el Elegido".”
