A HARD TOMORROW

in poetry •  7 years ago 

THIS SOCIETY IS BUILT TO KEEP US AT WORK

ONCE WE FIND A WAY OUT THEY TRY TO PUT US IN THE DIRT

BECAUSE AT THAT POINT WE ARE USELESS; OUR UTILITY HAS EXPIRED

CANT CREATE/BUILD SOMETHING MEANINGFUL UNLESS THAT FIELD HIRES

AND WE WILL NOT WAKE UP TO THE REALITIES BECAUSE WE'RE WIRED

SINGING THE SWEET LULLABIES OF "INJUSTICE"

BECAUSE THE SYMPHONIES FOR PAIN OF "THE PEOPLE" RINGS HIGHER

A WISE MAN ONCE TOLD ME THAT WORK WAS OVERRATED

AS WE BOTH STOOD THERE LOOKING BACK ON OUR LIFE WE WAISTED
