Society is powerful. It is mash-up of ignorance and fear Everyone assuming the other knows more Terrified of being outed But they all know nothing and they bounce their nothingness off of one another and call them “ideas” We’ve become a people so lazy that we no longer need to think for ourselves We read headlines & let the suits do the rest Letting their bias become ours Letting their agenda become ours Who can speak for the people if the people don’t speak? My glasses didn’t use to be this rose-colored It’s funny what blood will do to things. Society is powerful. We all recognize we shouldn’t be ruled by it, so we go to bed cursing it but the glimmer catches our eye just we drift off And I wake up kissing the ring.
