Sheep or wolf

????

By Todd Kidd Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Why do we lie to?

each other out here?

Making promises

that will never be kept.

Hoping that all our problems

will just disappear,

not trusting each other,

is it out of fear?

The only people making money

are the ones moving gear.

The rest of us drowning

our sorrows with beer.

The process repeating

itself every year.

Everyone demands equality,

nothing seems just, under this policy.

All getting treated like another casualty,

sometimes I question if the end goal

is multinational peace.

Politicians speaking so irrationally,

pulling your heart strings

to swing your vote rapidly.

Then changing the policy

leaving us in agony.

I wonder if any of them

still have their natural teeth.

Got most of us living

So dispassionately.

So wound up when I sleep,

I still bloody grind my teeth.

Seems a good time to

check out with some casual leave,

Find a small island,

drink coconuts in total peace.

No more looking around

with everyone judging me,

isn’t that the way it was all meant to be.

I would like to think

you are also on my team.

Most people care only for

blending in fashionably,

altering themselves

with no care what we were made to be.

We took to this place,

under a contract negotiably

But got caught in the rut,

living so unnaturally

Success is a process

gained through sexuality.

Everyone around me

living so frantically.

Five-minute meditation

will somehow give us peace.

Then back to the treadmill

living with so much unease.

Talking about others

with all this negativity.

Looks like the future will be

experienced through virtual reality.

Just to escape from what

we have created this place to be,

The only way to win is

together with solidarity.

Stop living on the level of superficiality.

Everyone deserves to be treated as a majesty.

Then we can hopefully find some normality.
