...............I'm what they want me to see...............
moah384

I am a product of the modern way
 1
With 6 billion people living on a ball
 2
of earth and minerals, feeding on
 3
competition as if it were a delicacy,
 4
I realize that any idea I have
 5
is shared by six alike unless
 6
the six are blind enough to miss it
 7
and I'm lucky to be there when they do.
 8
 
 
I am bombarded by movies
 9
books by people with nothing to say
 10
Sex 24/7 so that most of my blood
 11
is shifted to my new center of ideas.
 12
They impregnate me with concepts
 13
tell me what they'd like me to know
 14
and define the world in black and white
 15
so that I'm left ignorant and biased.
 16
 
 
I am left to live my life without
 17
a single thought claimed original,
 18
Cliche' my tongue,
 19
movie quotes my dialogue,
 20
But in the desert I realised
 21
Bluer skies exist in lands
 22
dubbed savage by the suits
 23
And that their water is grey.
 24
