You'll have to hear a whole lot before your ears fall of...
But not say a whole lot to get your teeth kicked in...
aphorism.

Social realism...

my money

my watch
my house
my car

my phone

my wallet
my toothbrush my couch my lemons my green grass
my plastic
tub

my plastic hair
my plastic teeth

my blue pool

my black
eyes

my red heart
my green soul

my exoskeleton . my ectomorphic mass.
my balloon filled gut

my bleeding
tongue

my brown shoes . my yellow banana. my $1,000 child slave my
$10,000 hitman

my $1,000,000 white Bengal tiger

my $0.02

conscience

my $0.02 pack of gum

You are like Philosophy
Immensely enthralling
But only for the mind in reverse
Disclaimer! I happen to very much enjoy philosophy, this is just based on Stephan Hawking's quote from his book, 'The Grand Design'.
you yearn for freedom
then you crush it

you ask for time
yet you rush it

you preach equality
then ban all others

you look for knowledge
yet hide under covers

you want perfection
then you complain

you ask for sanity
yet behave insane

you say this is home
then tear down the flag

your heritage unknown
yet willing to brag

you ask for no lies
then don't believe truth

you ask for more money
our debt's through the roof

you look for happiness
and you long for peace

you hold onto a grudge
but you need release

you say you're a dreamer
but you don't believe

that we can do anything
that we can perceive
They walk in the light
Bouncing, skipping, and jumping along
A smile on their faces
A light shining brightly on them
Glowing brightly
Everybody is happy
Everyone
Happy
happy
happy

Everyone isn't happy.
Darkness engulfs
Starvation
******
Plague
****
War
Drugs
Death
Cancer
So many bad things
and here we are
Happy
Full of sunshine
But what about everyone else?
