The Red, White, and Blue.A Poem by BrandonRedundancy at it's finest.When we look around We are oblivious to the monotony; The shear ignorance. Bearing the same red, white, and blue Singing the same song Sharing the same values Speaking as one Not as individuals Not as ourselves. But as the single creature we are bred to be. The abomination of redundancy The entrapment of our true values; Our actual goals. We live our lives under the same delusion Injected at birth; The poison of society. We can try to escape And climb out of the black hole Fighting for the light Achieving what we actually strive for And not the goals that are preached to us Living by our own values Breaking the status quo And leaving every other assumption behind. But just as we begin our climb We get sucked back into the vicious cycle The same redundancy The grey, lifeless society Where none of us actually matter Only how we are perceived. We all walk into the grey, lifeless office buildings And eat our family dinners Inside our grey, lifeless homes Beneath the grey and lifeless red, white and blue. © 2011 Brandon |
