Conscious


How are we conscious if technology is our escape We are stuck on monstrous devices controlling lives Just the government doesn't see it through our eyes Adolescents are insomniacs The elderly are being braineashed By this messed up economy We will never be free The constraints on society have never been tighter Brains strain over worked so we reach for a lighter It's only making the rich richer and poor poorer Selling cheap liquor to beggars Instead of giving bread to our brothers and sisters We watch from our home as a dystopian society Is rising into power without control Because those in control want the power And so the cycle of life goes Hopefully we won't make the same mistakes our parents chose For our children I fear about how they will grow Will they benefit or be like us children of the Indigo Water freely flows but now where it's supposed to go Propose a toast to changing the world as we know We cannot grow old thinking this is normal It is far from it and people are acting immoral Immortal souls the only thing to put our mind at ease What if on the other side there's nothing And all death is that component of us stopping to breathe I've been to the other side and all there is is darkness Useless to stress We will never know until the days of our own death's Why has fate delt a card we could have kept This knowledge needs to be said or laid to rest At least I'm not the only one feeling anxiety in his chest Addicting the games we playing Adding addiction to the list of failures We are the children with bright futures Don't take it away from us spreading fear and propaganda No conscious rest for teenagers We've been made into the first line of artificial intelligence We share basic intellect with common insects Basic instincts and they will call it animalistic But at the end of the day we all offspring of Homo-erectus Just with a faculty of evolutionary difference
