Are We Computer Programs

/wake up /run program I open my eyes Is there any honesty in me? What or who am I? And what will I ever be? /left foot pain /run program I hobble out of bed My left foot in pain I stumble to the window And pull back the curtain /beautiful day /run program The day is picturesque A few billows in the sky The blueness that surrounds Is a feast for my eyes /victimhood indoctrination /run program I turn on my TV And click the remote control Devils, terrorists, criminals Are endangering my soul /go to work /run program Off to work I go It seems they only want my presence And for digits in a computer I exchange my very essence /FLAHSGRID UPDATE /males fist pump for greeting /run program Hey there David So how's it going? We strike each other's fist Something we just felt like doing /clock out /go home /run program As I drive home I'm feeling rather funny The world worships judgment And this idol is money /age /run program I look into the mirror A wrinkle under my eye? Is the manifestation of dishonesty That we will have to die? /VIRUS DETECTED /purge virus /run program Should I ever question The things that I believe? No, because anything important Will be announced on my TV /FLASHGRID UPDATE /full moon /run program I open my eyes Pondering a strange question Am I just a drop in the collective Trying to escape this inception? /VIRUS DETECTED /purge virus /run program Why is life designed That when we question a belief That those we thought we knew Becomes the destroyers of heresy? /AUTHORITY ALERT: VIRUS IMMUNE /eliminate program /run program On the six O'clock news Another terrorist has been turned in Be on you highest alert One could be your closest friend And the recycle bin adds one more program.............................
