Things
written by tater_salad07:57 PM 3/6/05Things
Being in the here and now
“Now is the winter of our discontent”
Discontent for that evening of weird things
Things are happening in our life we cannot control
Control is almost always out of our hands
Hands of time ticking and ticking onward
Onward and upward to better things
Things…things…
Things are always happening that we don’t want to
To want is to wish and to wish is to
To wish for the impossible one
One for you and one for me but what about him
Him? He does not matter he is different
Different in the eyes of the conservative thing
Thing...thing…conservative?
Conservative beliefs hold us hostage
Hostage to the brainwashing and controlling freaks of this nation
Nation of people who call themselves holy
Holy? Is it holy to unwillingly control those who do not agree with you?
You must make that decision, my friend
Friend? Will you be my friend?
Friends are not there to trust
Trust? You will trust whom I say!
Say, now, is that your money or did you take that too?
Too much of a good thing will make you spoiled
Spoiled people with spoiled minds
Minds to control you with religion and sex
Sex is just a thing to distract you my Dear
Dear possessions that you hold on to for dear life as if…
If you don’t stop that incessant whining I will stop it for you!
You will do what I say
Say, is that you religion or did you steal that too?
Too much of a good thing will make you senselessly stupid
Stupid things people buy for money will only end up in that dump where the poor
Poor people live where you dump you garbage
Garbage is what comes out of your mouth when you cheat
Cheat on you taxes? How could you dare?
Dare to challenge what you cannot change
Change is inevitable to these things
Things…things…
Things to tell you what to but or how to look
Look is an impossible destination these days
Days are ticking by while you buy
Buy stupid things and useless items
Items used to secretly make you promise
Promises are empty if you are drunk
Drunk with society
Society? Time? Newsweek? Attention
Attention for just a little while before the pick someone else to be in the spotlight
Spotlight of fame and glory
Glory comes to those who wait
Wait before you cross
Cross that line between love and friendship
Friendship to the leader who betrayed you
How can you say those awful things?
Things happen that we cannot change?
Change is only an illusion |
