Explanation Of Society

Walking to and fro,

Ignoring our neighbors,

Treating everyone like a criminal until proven otherwise,

Trusting in lies,

Telling lies,

Being hypocritical at all times;

Slaving away for a broken system,

Still having hope in the lies we're told,

And in the lies we believe,

Not wanting to see the truth,

For this truth hurts too much;

Living in fear,

Of terrorism,

Of mugging,

Of robbery,

Of everyone and anything,

Not trusting any,

Not even the ones we know best;

Still believing that They know what's best for us,

Even though their greed and lust for power and control,

Strip of us of all that makes us what we are,

Saying it's for our own good,

And foolishly we believe the lie,

For to reject one lie is to reject them all,

And that would mean seeing the truth;

And so we're caught in an endless cycle,

Of free and slaves,

Open minded and controlled,

Never knowing that the real problem isn't them,

Rather it is us:

Because we don't want to see the truth.
