The ceaseless evolution of modern day society

Is gradually advancing into an inhumane asylum

Driving innocence along the edges of elimination

Devouring us ruthlessly into a nebula of obscurity



What happened to our right to exercise our opinions?

To entrust in the significance of our insignificant voices

Why must we resort to faking attraction to garner attention?

Let alone perform heartless acts of duplicity to evoke sympathy?



Have we truly fallen victim to the burdens of hypocrisy?

Have we completely relinquished hold of our identities?

These days we live in world where it is now adequate

To scam the public into thinking you fancy homosexuality



We never do things purely for the sake of pleasure anymore

It's as if life has become one big popularity sweepstakes now

And we are merely the contestants signing and mailing the forms

Giving away our dignity and choosing to be something we are not



Unfortunately people are far too preoccupied by the recognition

To even acknowledge all the angry protests and death threats

As long as they feel safe in knowing that all eyes are on them

They could give a **** about who yesteryear's president was



In that vein we shall perish

And our corpses shall decay

For our craniums are vexed

By the luxury of fabrication
