I don't understand, this overwhelming reality I never asked to live in, constructed by those that knew not what they were doing. I live in a world where a voice will not be heard with out dollars flowing from the mouth and VIP's at each side. A world where the statistically challenged are met with adversity, and compassion is an ideal saved for Buddhists in another world, for we are too developed. A world in which the only perception is down past the nose of those we each stand over. A world where we are all the same but we can only identify our differences. Addicted to emotions that feed our fire, and burns out our souls.
I don't understand, this overwhelming reality in which we all can expect the same outcome. This reality that scrapes at the minds of the clean, diminishing the light from our eyes as we attempt to understand. Death is not enough to unite and weave our perception into a napkin, never mind a scarf.
We sit in traffic, we inconvenience, and fuck with these faceless entities, for they are all the enemies. We no longer perceive people, only walking machines, we can put a dime in and see if we get our money's worth. Those that attempt to expand and stretch the minds get battered and torn. Ignorance is a desired quality the weak don't possess. The baseline is defensive, in a perpetual state of defending the petty. If you can't see the privileged the concept does not exist. Stepping out from behind the pillars of our fractured lives is a request baffling to the ear. People would rather die surrendering their perceptions than admitting to possibility.
I don't understand this overwhelming reality in which we sit in traffic. Rushing and blaming at 150 mph, threatening everyone in our path, for how dare they ask you to glance out another window. Entities rolling around in zig-zagged circles - right of the cliff.
No clearer image could be darkened by decay,
but we'll play the defensive any way.
Let's light the night on fire since it argues with the day.
I beg the question, for I don't understand, is this world really logical and the best we can do?
I don't understand this absurdism standing in our way.
