it is wrapped in a blanket
your mind
cushioned by the coddling of your mother or father or the fake smiles and inspiration your teachers gave you
you have a weak mind a weak will and forgettable face
your mind has been laced with transparency
the drugs of the media are claiming you for digestion

you clap and smile and cheer and
do you know what for?

you put your shades on in fashion and sit back in your comfortable chair watching the fox news channel

oh wait your sad attempt to watch any news has been incapacitated by the phone in your hand and lab top in front of you

you go to school the next day with answers from cheat sheets on google

you blindly walk down the path so many others were forced to pave

and that is why now
when you notice the pretty distractions
you are content
