The Weapon of Indifference

The Weapon of Indifference

The purpose of the society you live in is to destroy you slowly and surely,
all you have is at the service of what consumes you with nobody caring,
the weapon it will use is cold indifference that freezes you in the void,
you cannot adopt the same attitude you must jump into action now.

Every society has its weak points of resistance that break easily,
the painful places where the open wound bleeds in heavy silence,
put your finger on the wound and press hard and firm with all your strength,
dig deeper into the subjects that nobody wants to talk about.

Behind the scenes hides the ugly truth that doesn't want to come to light,
the underside of the beautiful decor covers the filth that slowly rots,
insist upon the sickness the agony the ugliness that everyone wants to forget quickly,
speak about death and oblivion about the emptiness that awaits us all.

Speak about jealousy indifference frustration about the absence of love in the world,
be abject and you will be truthful saying what nobody wants to hear,
society destroys you with its hidden weapon of cold and empty indifference,
you must jump into action to put your finger on the open wound always.

Dig into the subjects hidden beneath the shining surface that everyone sees blindly,
insist upon the agony the death the oblivion that awaits us all in the end,
be abject in your filth that speaks the brutal truth of existence,
do not adopt their cold indifference but jump into action pressing hard on the wound.
