While all the world finds distractions
I sit here trying to find a way
to understand how the world has changed.
Is it really an excuse anymore
to say
well, we’re dying anyway?
Is it really an excuse anymore
to say
we’ve tried but nothing has changed so I give up?
Are we really that accepting of horrible fates and we cannot change things for a positive impact?
What happened
to the world we expected
that was further ahead
than we are today?
Where is the art?
I don’t just mean the art in just forms of drawing, painting, photography, et al. What about our art in the form of science? Where are our thinkers, our philosophers? Where are the doctors in it for helping others and not stuck to the profits of a corporation?
Where are the visionaries?
Have we all been silenced, put down, and thrown into line with the robots speaking lines of bullshit?
How have we ended up where we are?
Why don’t you feel
like you are in jail
as they shove
“freedom”
down your throat
only to reach up
and
rip out your brain?
We live in an unreal world too afraid to find anything that forces us to look at the reality of life while these tyrants grab all the money while telling you that you need this life that you love.
We are dying yes, but why do we have to die this way?
