You and Me

Location

Katy, Texas
United States

Between You and Me

Is air full of green.,

Not oxygen and dioxide

but cash sewn into our breathing oppurtunities.

It is corruption,

the basis,

of what makes You and Me different.

Corruption in our views,

from You,

to Me.

Too poor and you deserve to hide with the rats

Too rich and you shall only dine with the aristocrats.

Why is it we can not take this space away?

Pull from the greed that lines our aerospace.

free ourselves from this way of life.

But wait,

lets not forget, 

its illegal to commit suicide,

for the act alone is a crime to the state.

So how do we escape?

from the greed,

the poverty,

the salt in our eyes,

What is it that could bring  us into one peaceful society?

Rid of the bureaucracy?

Rid us of the control we have fought decades to keep?

where will we be?

You and me,

after it all,

when we make the union fall.

where will we be?

sleeping in silk and linens?

or dying beneath our own greed,

for freedom,

for both You and Me.
