Mundane celebrations to mask our ever closing demise Working 9 to 5s, never fully enjoying our limited lives Never knowing which day will be our last So we choose to slave away for a world That we will never fully experience In the hopes our successors will enjoy the fruits of our labor But inevitably enjoy the same propaganda pamphlets that their parents once read And slave for a world, that their successors might enjoy All the while, the reapers scythe sharpens.
