Worth...less

Headless chickens running aimless toward the almighty dollar

Blindly staring at the knife"s stainless steel amidst all the squaller

 

My thirsty soul argues against my numb skull to hold a thorough audition

They lewdly feud about potential candidates accrued to search for recognition

They conclude on a suspicion they mutually feared as a result of blind ambition

Search preludes the admission, that I found my dream car with no keys for ignition

 

Don"t question authority especially when it's the majority

Everyone knows the world is flat and let's just leave it at that

I bought water from you now I have ice to sell

I have a great story but no one worthy to tell

Hindsight should really be at least twenty fifteen

Because to admit we just don"t know is too obscene?

 

Blissful ignorance"s repugnant scent wafting through the cave

Mindless sheople"s chainlinked brains all dancing at the rave

Fire flickering Shadow puppets tastefully riding the next wave

Puppeteer wizard behind the curtain telling them how to behave

Misaligned redcoated frontline soldiers falsely labeled as brave

Life"s ironic conundrum puzzle, choosing which children to save

Diseased cement steadily drying in a world ever ready to pave

Hungrier than I"ve ever been, yet sickly devoid of things to crave
