When metal speaks and people ask stupid questions

tonight someone asked a question
profound in its own right
he asked "why did we destroy the world"
I rolled my eyes
i told him
it wasn't me and it wasn't you
it all started before our time
before our mothers time
it got bad when the TV was invented
the brainwash box
the true zombie maker
a box that tells us our supposed truths
a box which tells us of perpetual wars
and sadness
telling us we need brands  
if you dont wear them
well then
you suck as a person
if you dont have the hair or certain make-up
if your car is a 2004 your a loser
if your shoes were under 20.00
well then
you fucking suck!
and then when you enlighten someone  
the truth scares them
then they ignore the truth
because the truth is fucking scary
were force fed lies through a box!
and the lies become us
and we become the lies
and there is no separation
the lies destroyed it all
the lies ate the truth  
like we eat our lunch at our slave day camps
we call it a job
i call it legal and accepted slavery
we have a tyrannical cult government  
which makes us think we are free  
yet were all slaves to debt
we are a slave to so much shit that does not matter
and we turn a blind eye to the bigger picture  
and whats truly happening in our own back yards
were government Guinea pigs  
and its cool
from medicine to cell phones
to x-ray machine and the food you feed your family
to your shampoo and toiletries  
how docile and nonreactive can society be
well obviously
pretty fucking  
enslaved
if you ask me
its all one big fucking experiment!
oh yeah  
and the raping of our natural resources
making us depend on oil
water could have just as easily have been used
but no there's an abundance
you don't make $$$$$$ when there's an abundance
money,money,money
TV,TV,TV,
that's what destroyed the world
well there is more
a lot more
i could go on all night
but i wont, I'll just say
it wasn't just you and it wasn't just me
it was a combination of things
