6 AM Unread Ramblings

Inhale, exhale, slow steady breaths to keep sinking ships a-sail.
As the ramble of reality is revealed from behind the veil.
Discernment diminishes before the dawn of society's derail.
Fraudulently forged from the flames of fertility to fail.
Freedom found pale and frail, fighting tooth and nail
Growing heavy beneath heaps of hardy hail
Inhale, exhale.

Inhale, exhale.
Freedom of expression from the first amendment is curtailed.
Alcoholics are anonymously addicted to ale.
Legions living in the land of the free, but locked up in jail.
No more contiguous contact, this is the age of email.
The majority turn the other cheek to Fox News' tall tales.
Whatever our actions are, we seldom know what each entails.
Masses taking medication for mental disorders, to no avail.
Impulse buying shit we don't need, because it's marked "on sale".
Brand names are held in higher esteem than the Holy Grail.
Destroying DNA to keep your delicate dazzle in detail.
Surely, self worth is measured on a scale.
Why would one want to travel this tumultuous trail?
Inhale, exhale.


If this is the world in which we live, then please put back the veil
We'd be better off breathing steady and slow, forever reading braille.
Exhale.
