Description Intro

Welcome to Society
Corruption and stupidity
We should be better than this
But blind in our ignorance
We never had a chance

Part 1

Today is not a good day;
Nobody’s jumping, yay.
Fuck the rhyme,
One day it will be a crime.
I write for the hell of it,
But if somebody read it,
They’d have a fit.

I like writing about death,
Better than songs on stinky breath.
Killing is fun, blood and guts;
But they all think I’m nuts.
Too many people walk this earth,
Shouldn’t be another birth.

Society is going superficial,
But the media won’t make that official.
Cast me out because I hate everything,
But upon fake stages superstars sing;
And amid the hollow sound,
Fake meanings abound.

Amid the hollow sound,
Fake meanings abound.

Part 2

Welcome to fake land,
Blissful ignorant land.
But ignorance is bliss,
Save the things you miss.

Look around what do you see?
Think on it and tell me,
Are we a truly great society,
Or worshipers of a false deity?

Money, and shiny things like a car.
The chauvinistic better than you are.
My pearlescent paint’s shinier,
But my leather seats are fancier.

Congratulations, you both suck.
Bickering like children, what the fuck?
Drowning in illusions of high cultures,
But humans are no better than vultures.

The TV tells us that we’ve been feed;
Yes, in body we are free indeed.
But our minds are trapped in society,
In saying that I’ll go down in notoriety.

Like a blindfold the media covers our eyes,
Giving us no knowing whether we see lies.
In highly paid manipulators we trust;
To whom common people are no more than dust.

Does that not tell you something,
When the UFO on TV could be anything.
Hysteria grows rampant among us,
Like some mutated fungus. (or and infectious virus)

Remember when they all did believe Orson Welles,
They wanted to hang him at the noon bells.
Before the broadcast began he said it was fake,
But some of societies fools tuned in late.

The boys from the bars went looking for a fight,
And shot up the water tower in the night.
I could have sworn it was a spaceship,
Look on that thar radar there, see that blip.

Huston, we have a bigass problem.
What’s the pain in the ass astronaut Oblem?
We landed in the ocean as planned Gus,
But the fish think we’re aliens and are shooting us.

Maybe when they attacked the water tower,
They though they had power.
But in the morning when not a bath did they take;
The fools finally realized their great mistake.

Who said us humans were smart?
Some crazy senile old fart?
Or do we think that because we can drive a car,
We are smarter than all the dumb animals are?

But cars are the dumbest thing of all.
For they will soon be our downfall.
Wonton crashes and pollution,
And we feel this is evolution.

The amazing automobile, our greatest invention.
Nobody will stop the deadly invasion.
Cars kill more people each and every year;
Than guns and bad buns, but which to we fear?

Now don’t get me started on the wars,
And the need for cheap whores.
But humans have his great need for killing,
Plus intense desires that want fulfilling.

The human way, death and sex my friends.
Our perception of right and wrong, it bends.
Murderers and rapists, to jail they went;
Until they worked for the government.

Alone in the middle of it all, I sit here.
My rebellious pen and I shout, but none will hear.
They are too absorbed with typical decadence,
And seem to have no wish for independence.

Thanks. This is a rather old poem, over two years old now. Now that I look at it again, maybe the rhyming was too forced.
