Mechanics

Bull crap

greases the cogs

The lies

spin the wheels

Misconceptions

never under appeal

Politicians

sucking us dry

Blood

spilled for glory and pride?

Money

runs dry

Freedoms

disappearing at the blink of an eye

Military jets

transgressing the blue sky

And the people

looking up wishing they could fly

Flying

away from their troubles and fears

Reaching

for the moon and stars near

Dieing

to be apart of something greater

Living

to appease an absent creator

Watching

another's life as if in a movie theater

Dreaming

how to be a better dreamer



Sweet dreams little dreamer
