Ticking

I try to voice an opinion on things that matter

but where do I start

the core of my terminal sorrow 

and daily blind spots

The issues that have roots far deeper than the structure ahead

I feel like I am weighted 

It is constant but those around me are channeled and oblivious

maybe I will drift in and join them

because I can't seem to express myself

The evidence is clear as day

If those I could of helped realize in years to come

Have I spread hatred and bitterness through a generation

like the seething and uncertainty we witness from past blunders

...

Will everything expire by the time we all use our minds

to breathe air into life rather than be slaves to its confines

and as you said "the evidence is clear as day"!
