What Defines Us?

What defines us in a world so undefined? What expresses us when expressions are oppressed? Why strive for perfection which is clearly impossible. Why go for it all when all is too much to handle. Why worry about the final frontier when the land in front of us is so corrupt Who has the right to live when the final day comes? Who has the right to choose the righteous from the damned? Why fight for the right that isn’t in danger? Who is to say that our freedom is in peril? When our freedom is envied by the world. Some strive for the American dream. Others live the American nightmare. Before we go out to save the world We should prove ourselves to be saved. The greed that drives us will eventually bog us down. The corruption that helped us grow will rot us away. The symbol that represents us will represent oppression to the world Our courage will wither away with our existence This just goes to show you that having everything can take everything right back. So listen to this take it all in and let it out to the world The world has reached its peak and there is no other way to go but down So assume the position and be prepared for the downhill ride. It will be bumpy with no brakes or steering wheel As we see our imminent fate in front of us, all there is to do is kiss your ass goodbye I have seen this coming for a long time so I will meet you at the bottom.
