Cognitive Creature

A cognitive creature 
With the mind of a preacher 
Trying to understand 
Life’s latest feature 
Slammed daily 
With glitz and glam 
All pretty boring 
And all a huge scam 
Everything is designed to fail 
From the day your born 
Throughout life you flail 
No getting ahead 
Just falling behind 
Making a pittance for a daily grind 
Nothing to get excited or look forward to 
Lockdowns and closures
Signal depressions que 
People are tired and short 
Screw the elite you retort
Enough is enough 
Of your fanatic control 
I’m aware of the situation 
I know the toll 
Keeping me safe 
While crushing my soul 
I know the routine of your daily spew 
You rinse and repeat for the masses to view 
Well, here’s something for you to chew 
Shut up already………… We know what to do
