A Vacuous Affair

Blissful ignorance

A vacuous affair

Mind numbing atrophy

Life without a care



Cloud dwelling dreams

Of a world less realized

The pyramid schemes

Of a world materialized



Land of the free

Home of the incarcerated

The money wheel keeps turning

Our debt exacerbated



Before it's too late

Do what you can

To save what's left

Of this common man
