Poem Title:
Poem
Used to look through child’s eyes Used to stare at star ridden skies Used to smile at silly sounds Used to dream of the future’s bounds Used to play in the thicket of my mind Used to search for a place to hide Used to act like story book heroes Used to count from 100 back to zero Used to hold my breath till my face was bright red Used to believe all the words that everyone said Used to want a big house and brand new car Used to hope that I could someday set the bar Used to use my imagination Used to use that motivation Now being used by my frustration Of being used by my own generation Used to... used to... You know I used to... Use it all without a thought Used too... Used too... We’re all being used too... Bought and sold like an old iron pot Used to... used to... You know we all used to... Dream our world would never rot Used too... Used too... It’s all being used too... All our resources from bottom to top Used to sit up all hours of the night Used to believe that people were alright Used to think that we could still pull through Used to think that everybody knew Used to have faith in the ‘truth’ Used to see their words as proof Used to hide these tears I’d cry Used to hold my head up high Used to think I had a grasp Used to disguise myself with a plastic mask Used to act like there was no problem Used to hypocritically mock any and all of ‘em Used to use their aspiration Used to use their motivation Now they use their investigation To bind us to their administration Used to... used to... You know I used to... Use it all without a thought Used too... Used too... We’re all being used too... Bought and sold like an old iron pot Used to... used to... You know we all used to... Dream our world would never rot Used too... Used too... It’s all being used too... But when will this mass consumption ever stop?
