Don'T Ask Me

Why do you need gas? For my car Why do you need a car? Because I live far from work Why do you live far from work? Because I need a house Why do you need a house far from work? Because they're affordable Why are they affordable far from work? Because the government lowers the taxes there Why does the government lower the taxes there? Because they do less for you Why would you want them to do less for you? Because it's forced on you Why would they do that Because they want to do less Why would you want less? I asked for less Why did you ask for less? To survive Will you? No Why are you doing it then? I am waiting for them to change Are they? No Then why are you doing it? I'm hopeful What is that? A bird with wings. Is that true? No Then why are you lying to me? I hope you will make a difference What is that? A change From what? Myself How will I know what that is if you are lying to me? You won't Then we will die? Yes Is that okay? Don't ask me

I really enjoyed this. We all live in the matrix and few want to break free

If you're going to escape I imagine it's for good reasons and you should go....I did. LOL I never thought of the matrix as your seeing it. I've heard it mentioned that way but dismiss it. LOL I'm starting to see man as dumb but I can't accept it and I think I want to replace those words with "No problems exist here" Thanks Andrea. Trevor
