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
