๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ wake up and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ smell the flowers and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ yawn and make coffee for ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ live in a demonic world and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ look through it with demonic eyes
the floor shakes under ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ weight and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ feel every single step ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ take
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ pose in front of the million dollar camera and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ smile at the homeless laying barefoot on the street
but do ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ give them money?
they sit there in rags and they beg and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ watch them and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ reply โ€œhave a nice dayโ€
๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ clothes are made of silk and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ go to work in fancy wear every single waking day
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ sleep in linen sheets and ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ pillow is so soft that ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ fall into the night so easily
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ wave to passerbyโ€™s in cars and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ yell across the street to girls ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ find pretty
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ strut in the alley, but only the one with twenty plus people
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ switch sidewalks when ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ see a man with a rapid heart rate whoโ€™s walking faster than usual due to being late
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ grimace at him and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ continue along ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ way
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ donโ€™t tuck ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ kids in bed at night cause ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ donโ€™t have any
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ donโ€™t cry when falling onto the comforter, ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ laugh instead
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ online shop during the midnight hour and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ purchase Indonesian products that were made in sweatshops
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ donโ€™t condemn those who killed for no reason, but ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ donโ€™t have such ruthless shower thoughts, i suppose
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ witness the moon glimmer in the desolate night as the world remains still
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ fall asleep quickly and ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ repeat
๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ do this all when the sun hasnโ€™t risen for some
the moon hadnโ€™t shined in the darkest of nights
the war was fueled with gaslighting and bombs
the fog hasnโ€™t lifted, it barricades the doors of little houses
the street wasnโ€™t bright enough and someone got tackled
the gun hasnโ€™t stop shooting in the courtyard
the prayer was never uttered from such posh lips
the emptiness never ceased to exist
how could ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ be so selfish?
myself included. what...you thought i would be a hypocrite? nah, man, that stuffs wack
