Blessed

The bountiful harvest of today The ease, the simplicity we’ve created in life Ironically makes a man empty Creates a mind full of strife When enough is never enough And we overachieve in all our needs It's only a matter of time We all reap the punishment of our dirty deeds Depressed, stressed, and lonely We live a life full of fear Confused yet pompous Sipping on an exquisite bohemian pilsner beer We've over evolved We can't handle the truth We suffer miserably in uncertainty Ignoring the scientific proof So we take another bite We smoke a little weed We drink ourselves to death Creating our own disease The heavenly blessings we’ve acquired Have become a devilish stew With our genetic insatiable appetite It's hard to swallow when you don't chew The dichotomy of evolution The conundrum of ease and living free Is it a blessing? I guess we'll have to wait and see
