Opinions Differ Yet We are Still the Same

What a sham they say,
I will bitch and moan and never do anything to fix it,  
Pass the buck to the farmhands and corporate juggernauts,  
Well, we say, we will make it through another day anyway,  
  
Colors burst from the sky and we do not reply,  
We pay no mind to what is in front of us,  
Just the things we cannot see, feel, nor taste,  
As we scurry around in our cars,  
Some drive all by their fucking selves,  
As we watch the talking heads spew their pretentious bullshit at us,  
We eat it like cake,    
Never once realizing we are drowning ourselves in the lake,  
A boiling body of water where monsters lurk,  
Only paying attention to them! paying no mind to the beauty that surrounds us each day,  
Sure we all need to get laid, get paid, and go on some grandiose vacations where they hand out leis,  
But we never truly remember what we saw, what we smelled, never can recall how she tastes,  
nothing at all,  
Because we stare blankly at screens as I am doing now,  
I am as guilty as anyone else,  
I am just the same as you,  
One day we will open our irises to the sun,  
pay attention to the moon and planets,  
The flowers that surround us,  
And finally remember what it is we see,  
I want to and i will, because right now, all I see is negativity,  
This is my choice, I am not a victim and neither are you,
Self oppression 101,
Get the fuck out of the house, plebeians and courtiers alike, and have some fun
