Dec 2015
We're fat within our luxury
Entangled within capitalism, false advertising
Gossip, slander
Trivial first world pursuits
It's human nature to meander
But within the society of the first world's finite structure
We lose
Consumed in ruse
'Cause what other way do we amuse
Ourselves

We got everything
So why do we not spill over with joy
and sing?
Cause we're sitting atop our bounty
Wrapped in robes sitting on gold thrones
While the entire world lay in savage ruins
We turn to soothing
In our processed foods, our drugs, our infatuation with ***
We've lost the purpose to all of this
We have no definition
And without meaning
We go into regression
An entire nation suffering from depression.
