We’re all the same
Homogenized conglomeration of all things tasteless
Without faces
Marching in line chanting the same fallacious message
Why do we feel so helpless?
Downing sugared caffeine to take the soul-sucking edge off
Mechanical nodding
Force-fed bullshit direction ingested
Forcing plastered smiles through our thinly veiled frustration
How the fuck did I ever get so complacent?
An ugly pattern emerges to stifle silent screaming
For a while for the sake of sanity, we forget
Dressed up distracted with pockets full, we forget
How, why is it so easy to forget?

This is good. You obviously paid a lot of attention not only to the words you used but the sounds of the words and their arrangement. It reads as if you spent considerable time crafting this. I like it!

Glad you liked it! I did spend about a half hour on this one. Inspiration came from a non-local, intangible place and left as quickly as it came. Thank you for the feedback, good to hear from ya. Hope you're well!
