Refuse to be


For a world thats so forgiving. Why am I unforgiven? In times so new Why is It I feel old? Though we're said to be genuine Everyone seems made from plastic, Humanity is doomed by conformity Suddenly its an alien gestures to Hold the door for the person behind you never looking you straight in the eye During conversation Explain to me how you can hear me talk and listen to your head phones at the same time... phones become their face. Constantly taping at buttons that I question. Are they really there? Or are they a hollow exoskeleton. Of who they used to be and what society has made them out to be Greed takes over. "Please" and "thank you" ancient words Replaced with "me myself and I." Boys who perceive themselves as men Who stride like penguin, A gentleman is rare antiquity This world is cruel and evil Forcing kids to be adults. When adults act like kids In this world I have no desire to be
