The illusion
Of freedom
That we so
Willingly
Live in
Is nothing short
Of sad and maddening
And perhaps
The worst part of it
Far as I can see
Is in all honesty
Most of us
Who do
Know better
But refuse
To show it
Giving up
And giving in
We lay down
Our arms
And surrender
Our freedom
Beaten and broken
Too tired to fight
Any longer
The insanity
Begins
As we sit back
And watch it happen
Wishing the world
Would just burn
And get it
Over with
Already
This, my dear society
Is our reality
The truth of the world
In which we live
And I beg of you
Please tell me
I am not
The only one
Not yet
Too far gone
To want
And try to do
Anything about it
Please tell me
You want to
Fix it too
And are willing
To prove it
Because the world
In which we live
Could use all
The help
It could get
Before it becomes
It's own
Greatest
And most tragic victim
