May 2013
the wonder is hidden away
in the emptiness of our eyes
and the fullness of our days

we try to pretend that nothing is wrong
in the smiles that we fake
and the way we carry on

going through the daily motions
forgetting what is truly important
drowning in the corporate ocean

but at some point it has to give
there's no reason to keep lying
there's no life in how we live

remember to love people, not things
to always use things, not people
and you'll see the happiness it brings.
