Decadence

by andrewknepps

I can’t enjoy the present I’m busy waiting on the future Working hard to produce so I can be a consumer And my consuming habits have made me decadent Keeping up with the trends in hopes of being relevant Waiting for the next fad to infatuate our mind Mindlessly sucking up our money and our time Timelessly circling in repetitive motion Going through the motions and coming to the notion That life's too short to let it pass you by But now time has passed and it's soon time to die And oh my Give me something to distract my mind I liked the way things looked before when I was blind
