Artificial tears from a mindless intelligence
as the masses devour the minutes of the hour
in a hushed drone of a hive mentality
and everyone is watching
but no one is looking at anything
other than their own contorted faces
as the snap snap chat chat selfie
is taken again and again
got to hide our faces where everyone can see
because its all unlimited vanity
for a small price and snip snip
sign quick don’t let the devil hide in the details
because wouldn’t that be a waste of his charm
as we’re all going to hell
may as well cozy up to the fire
and set the finger free
to be the bird we all love it for
because what else are our hands good for
other than saying **** this
and **** that
and **** it
and no one gives a **** any more
if you want to believe the common trend of memes
and its a mix of the sad truth and bad tides
and the television spitting out lie after lie
and an honest politician is nothing more
than a puppet with one foot in the grave
and the other hand in your back pocket
digging through your wallet
and a crooked politician doesn’t even hide it anymore
and is shoving his hand down your throat
to drain your gut and twist your spine
because he has to bleed you of every cent
but not to worry he’s a god fearing american gent
full of compassion and caring and *******
well just *******
but you don’t need to know that
buzz buzz fly home
the t.v’s calling
you wouldn’t want to miss
the artificial tears of a mindless intelligence
