Write this
Do that
Finish this
As it appears
That the sight of humanity is slipping
To that of completion
Then the time
Of connection
That we wish to be
One among a collection
Of our useless junk
Lay upon your plastic infused lives
Ask am i happy
Then realize
Happiness is love
Not some limited edition makeup brand
Realize humanity's out of hand
The war for land
No longer of territory
But where to throw "our trash"
The war we face
Of where to place
The good things that are "so last year"
Look at yourself
Slowly
You become one of a collection
Yet you seem so angered
As it clearly showed
The story of stuff
Does not include greed
Among competition
It doesnt begin to comprehend
We are slowly melding our own demise
Take a look at your job
Ask why am I doing this
Ask if a robot could do it
Lastly is there a point
I look at people ages ago it seems
Working happily
With talent and love stiched
Sewn
With every community
Smiles for miles
Was not a cliche
But a reality
Our world has become dark
As many say we protect number 1
I just want to say
Who truly is
In this game of losing
The winning we believe to
Be nothing more than this
Glorified slavery
As we work for what we want
No matter the work
I look at this
I question why
As my own sentenced to the prison of society
Sets free
I can believe
I do not work for that reality
I work with mind long gone
With every word woven
My story told
My happiness unchained
To that of a world I can freely love
I have yet to become
A slave sentenced to the dark ages
Of commission of cash
My words not set at a priced dollar
Never sold to the highest bidder
I see smiles
As i walk on a city street
Those smiles hide tears
As many wish to die
Silently I sigh
I can't understand why
These people must lie
And try to be alright
As they become a broken machine
I wish to cry
As i ask so many
What is your dream
And many repeat to die
Or to be rich
Such a price on paper
As all it is
Is paper
I begin to question why
Why I write
Then remembering
My words no longer bound
By insolence of my traumatic mind
I ask why did we make ourselves
Slaves to the dollar
To that of human made
We lost control
As the puppet begins
To morph to the puppet master
Lay along your plastic stuff
And tell me you're happy
I see behind that smile
The tears bound not to cry
Wishing to be set free
Truly this is the dark times
For humanity
