Move, move move MOVE
Where to? What for? WHY?
There, here, EVERYWHERE!

School, work, MONEY!
Where to? What for? WHY?
Buy this, get that, want EVERYTHING!

Strangers, friends, PEOPLE
Where to? What for? WHY?
Smile, praise, talk, brag, VALIDATION!

Do you see?
Can you see?
Will you see?

Or is it me?
Am I mad?
That I imagine this madness around me!

But

Nothing can be done
Change must not come
For it is not what they want

Reality stares
But they pull the blanket over their heads
Pretending until it doesn't exist

Telling me this madness is
The madness we can't see

This is ORDER!
They scream and praise

But how proud can you be
If you have accepted this madness as your reality
