Because Someone Said It
A person once said it has always
Been that way
Creating an illusion
Down here confusion on
Earth and
Fueling the emotion
Going with blind devotion
Hovering on a rift
Imagination adrift
Just because one read it
Killing our thoughts of who said it
Luring us into blindly following
More insanity and wallowing
Never to think on our own
Opting to live as a drone
Pouring out empty phrases
Quarreling through the ages
Recesses of our mind
Simply being blind because
Those who said it also
Understood our pettiness and
Verified our weaknesses
Watched their will seeping where
Xanax will be the answer because of
Yellers ceaseless banter
Zzzs are all that’s left to say.
