We's-Dumb
Location
It's more than obvious; we live in a cold world
Where society's aim is impregnate every boy and girl
We fall for lies, sewn to the pattern of the embezzlement ties
The corporate media looking so familiar; turning family on familia
Brainwashing the masses; watching time go by like mannequins behind glass
Askew view while we’re staring through the rearview
Seeing people through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, and I wonder Why
One individual looses oneself because of bliss and pain
It’s like we’re going against the current, flowing upstream
Struggling to survive, lost in the moment; getting caught in the rain
Chasing an illusive dream yet living in materialistic nightmare
It doesn’t seem fair and the odds are against us; Russian roulette
It’s a never ending cycle were we bet our lives for a second of nothing
But then again where only flesh and blood never truly knowing
The definition and meaning of “Life’s Success”
It’s not about tangible lust, on the contrary
It’s similar to the feeling of a mellow gust; it’s quite ordinary
Yet it’s so soothing that we take it for granted
Our selfishness is the reason why we’re steadily killing our planet.
We see money as our only solution, so we sell ourselves
Too damn stubborn to admit it yet we proudly beg for help,
Only when desperate do we realize that we can’t make it alone
We’re too lazy to build from the ground up so we never turn a shelter into a home
Jealous ones envy, the result being: we bite the hands that feed us
We have nothing to offer and everything to gain; we yell for freedom
While we relinquish the thoughts of sharing and caring, we’ll never feed them
In the aftermath of ignorance, we abort our fetus.
What's wrong with us? We're to damn envious playing a game that's dangerous
It’s pathetic that we are slaves to our own mental prison
Some call it being ambitious; others label it synonymous with wisdom
I see it for what it is, hence the poem’s title: We’s-Dumb
