Difference

I've recorded several thousand ways

To relieve the stress of every day life

Whether it is destruction or art

Or even the art form of demolition



And here stands different types of machinery

That can produce, reduce, and eliminate

Yet here we remain, organic to an extent

And we've created boundaries that are endless



And we measure time and predict our demise

Leaving our sense of wonder to wither and fall

Though few still hold pride, many have sold their minds

To feed the growing generator of invention and convenience



And we count our scars like they were trophies

And we judge our honor by how we appear outside

When within there is a positive vortex of humanity

Everyone has their own, though many have died of hunger



And we sell artificiality by the dozen

And our ingenuity has been rented by Satan himself

Once we reach the top of a mountain

Another pushes us away, and replaces our flag



And depression is a justified reason for abuse

And being different means that a statement is made

Where the difference between "real" and "fake"

Is the gender confusion between a neck-tie



Where everything that you claim to be a part of

Slowly but surely decides what and who you are

And here again you're hating the government

Yet with your "anarchy" you'd face a more violent Hell



There is no correct reason

Because every type of fact is based on opinion

Opinion is often argued

And we are forced to decide what kind of lies suit us well.



"Why should I come down? From here I can see forever."

- Nevermore.

If you've faced wrong in the past, blame yourself for taking the wrong road. Not those around you for making it convenient.
