The Idealistic Man Vs the Rational Man Vs the Robot
I am an idealistic man
filled with ideas to change the world
Deep inside me there is rage
A rage that wants to erupt
And change the world
But this world has changed me now
A change that i fear the most
Now i am the rational man
Trying to fit in this world
Work, socialize, eat, sleep, earn
Thats all i got now
Without ideas a man is almost dead
but for a rational man
that is the idea to live without an idea
killing your dreams
But life has changed even more
Robot i am now
I just follow orders
Ideas are a thing of the past
Work hard,Work hard, work hard
is what i do now
But deep inside me
there is still the idealistic man
He calls me everyday
I ignore him
His voice has weakened now
But he is still there
And now i am a dead man
One with the earth
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes
So which one are you now?
