We have so much information,
Still, we don’t understand.
We put our lives on display,
Only we’re not living.
We try to accumulate,
We try to gain,
We try to bargain
Our own conscience.
We sell ourselves
Like products,
Still, we hate being used.
We appreciate the shallow,
But we can’t recognize
Our own souls.
We pursue happiness
Using money,
We pursue dreams
That aren’t ours,
We believe
What they tell us to.
We have no freedom,
Because we don’t need it.
We like our cages,
Filled with technology
And pretty lies,
Concealing the truth.
We are decadent,
But we claim civilization.
We use religion
To start wars,
We use ignorance
To let people die of hunger.
We refuse to wake up.
