I Don'T Understand America Part Ii
Pollution
No shape, no color, no boundries
It is not the smog that blankets skylines
It is the people who scurry under it
We are born in to sin
I just wish it came with a shovel
We are programmed to dig our own graves
Alcohol
Tobacco
Sloppy sex
Greasy foods
Ingredients we can not pronounce
But have been conditioned to accept everything..
FDA approved
Are you not moved yet?
Have I not proved anything?
Are my words nothing but shapes thrown together?
Tossed away like garbage in the sea?
What has to happen who has to die?
Is the thousands of suicides and soldiers not sacrifice enough?
I do not stand alone but we are not standing together
No matter how many times you like that post it doesn’t save you a spot in heaven
It’s a distraction. taking you away from the work we must do to the physical world
Not the technological one…
I fear these words will only grace the eyes of so little
That in time will be lost in the archives of techonology..
We have lost ourselves in technology
We send smileys but don’t care to smile at a stranger
If we just look up for one second do you even remember what the sky looks like?
It’s darker than I remember
We no longer have necessities but over indulged in materials.
We are alive for a short time and should be living
Batteries are not included because we don’t need them
Break free from the robotics
Take a break from your techno narcotic
Because you can’t experience life glued to a screen
Go outside before it’s too late and nothing is no longer green
