Limitations
Random thoughts on societal issues we face
Convoluted conclusions
Breeding hate and confusion
Spreading to every last human
-
Talking with no conviction
Just to raise the confliction
Talking continuous nonsense
Just to feel part of the conscious
-
You can call it peer pressure
But I call it a chasing pleasure
Fitting in with “peers” bringing leisure
Not outspoken with thoughts
Inner thoughts are but naught
Staying safe and sound in that cocoon called mass mentality
Sadly, that is reality
-
Love or hate it, ain’t gonna change it
Mass and social media control the narratives
Putting minds in narrow sieves
Filtering thoughts and picking the narrow win
Until they have us all under barrel and flint
-
The world expanding with options
Making you join in their auctions
But they don’t tell you how long the show goes for
A day to two
A lifetime done blew
But you’re still struggling at the casino table of life
Indebted to corporations with no morality
But they convince you “that’s just society”
We need to work hard forever
Or we will never sever the tether
The control they have on our souls and minds
But that’s just society, apparently
-
Lives controlled
Atop desks dice rolled
On livelihoods of millions
Knocking together like billiards
A few powerful and brilliant
Forget their duty, indifferent
To those beneath them
Those who will be screwed by their malfeasance
Losing homes through no accedence
Thinking that some allegiance
Is still there
But none exists
With the powerful, as they persist
With gambling, they can’t resist
Their power just growing
Forever and never slowing
-
The government will surely save us you say
A little too late I’m afraid
With money and power in this magnitude
Governments feel their finitude
They're too big to do anything with now
They basically own the whole country somehow
So all the government can do is bow
To that power and reach
Unless the legacy they wanna leave
Is them destroying economies
