I’m a stranger in a strange land
The fan chugga chugga chugs
As it blows away paper thugs
The world shrugs
As we slink like slugs
Dripping between the cracks
Bosses, oppressors, all
On our backs
For the morals they lack
Fact is now just an act
Broken is our social pact
If such a thing were to ever exist

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
