Doing the bare minimum
without care or ethic
so self serving & pathetic
Here on one mission
lack of determination
a display of unfavorable submission
Leading their way with bad intentions
oblivious of all their reckless rendition
little effort portrayed- rooted from a broken system
Seeking solid foundations
yearning for better understanding
finding we're run ragged from an institution so demanding
Silver linings of grey areas set us as ease
self destructive as we aim to rise above
pleasing all around- while we fail to serve ourselves
Everyday is new- as we tightening our loose screws
clinging onto pieces of ourself
avoiding coming unglued
running at all the chaos with broken parts- holding onto it so hard
With nothing else to lose- lack of empathy in understanding of the truth
seizing the day- leaving the soul internally bruised.
