Life-Style

Life, stylin' like what you see on T.V. Though behind the scenes, is not what you see The next American Idol is who you long to be Caught up in the rapture of ideology The changing of the times as seasons come to pass As structure and morals never seem to last Crazed by the fashion, crazy about the life Mere words it seems using vulgarity is rife Candy to the eye and entertainment for the desires Tickling of the flesh and rewarding for the buyers What is the cost to live life supreme Losing of the soul to gain the American dream Arousing malevolence from video games to extinguish As virtual reality makes it hard to distinguish What is tangible and mere illusions Resulting in fusion's from the mass confusion Chasing the wind, catching the air Searching for happiness because the insides are bare Where is your treasure, where is your gold Where is your salvation, your soul that you hold Directed by darkness because ignorance fills the mind Blinded by the glitter and artificial lights that shine Styles of life, glamorous or dull Is your cup half empty or is it half full?
