Why?

I am singled out daily, why I am so sad?

Mind whirring elsewhere in a dissonant land 

I feel like theres few who are stopping in their tracks

to witness the fact that earths lungs have turned black

Communication has begun to quickly implode 

This modern obsession makes my mind erode 

From the moment I was born, biologically set

To question nothing and get on with the rest

Conditioned to conform, i've been brainwashed from the start

forced to feel inferior, picking myself apart

indoctrinated to a religion of spineless vultures

Though as opened my eyes i witnessed more harmful cultures 

Why am I lacking the empathy while the world around me starves

I see it on my television, but don't have the heart 

to realise that this is a reality that goes on every single day

Would life be more stress free I wonder, simply wasting away?

Point and watch the aeroplanes fly, chemtrails blaze across the sky

and people who go missing each year, never simply disappear 

Do as you're told for you don't have a brain

too stupid or fragile to ever break sane

Such experiments like unit 731

make me wonder what could be more wrong

when these people control our daily grind 

NSA rape your privacy and your mind

Like puppets on a string we hang

in the tangles of a divided land

political parties no distinguishable leader 

for the outcome won't change whoever is the proceeder 

Ever stopped to notice the cameras all around

Do you like being watched and traced to the sound

anything you do can be easily tracked

but nobodies interested, heads always down.

who really needs war to defend their country

How did soldiers feel that christmas day?

drafted into war and reduced to carnage 

Probably wanted to go home where they could feel safe 

why do so many people commit suicide

or feel depressed and lost all the time

confined to their homes like prisons 

They rot mentally with no hopeful vision

I feel we have lost our humanity 

or has it always been lacking?

I didn't think I'd reach eighteen 

and be stuck in this mind frame

A nuclear war is brewing

and my tea has gone cold

So many of us have grown so bitter

aware of the reality like an untreated scald 

Not undeterred by their delusions 

so many innocent have died

maybe things would be different

if we all could all ask why.

I could be screaming and none of you would hear

I'm giving up hope and losing my fear

there are good forces working hard to keep me sane

before I wilt and and leave this place.

we feel so manipulated and controlled by society sometimes we wonder why we even exist...and the wars that are so uncalled for keep happening, and we are witness to this...our lives become such delusions that we delude ourselves that life is even worth it at all...and then we start having that war within ourselves, why live? why stick around? for what?

so many why's---sometimes i feel like i don't want to stick around...not the way everything is going...not much of a world to live in, is it?
