Artificial Advancement in the Great Divided States

By Matt •
maybe it's just me
but these days
society seems to be
done growing
and now just artificially advancing
through this
age of technology
humankind's only commodity
is the unforunate acceptance
of society's collective apathy
the worst threat to this earth
is the invisible enemy
of mankind's enormous ego
and our endless entitlement issues
here where we the sheeple
are breed to be lazy
and unquestioning
as we're lead to slaughter
lost are all hints of any hope
the land of the formerly free
and the no longer brave
a nation once united is now
the great divided states of america
where people are only united
within their own preset dividers
and only comfortable
with our government provided
horse blinders on
here where we have
love and understanding
fighting to survive
while war and hate
continue to thrive
this institution built by misinformation
it's population
is under educated
and over regulated
instilled in ignorance
living by this insane iternaray
made up and handed down by
overpaid corupt politians
highly insured and financially secure
suffocating society into submission
through race relation inequality
and drastically different social classes
eliminating all acceptance
leaving any chance of understanding
in their bloated bigoted
blood stained hands
while love is lost in translation
listening to these naive leaders
speaking misleading language
fooling us into believing
that we all still somehow succeed
their loyalty already bought
and put in the pocket of lobbyists
this Washington DC machine
has an appetite for aggression
and a dedication to destruction.
their sadistic shattering
of the human spirit
through over priced medication
and soul siphoning sedation
sent out on social media feeds
programming the population
with television algorithms
subliminal suggestions
a sickening scene
stuffed shallow
with sought after sex symbols
and designer drugs
the answers we need
won't be found on any screen
or in some big sports stadium
that you'll pay to see
it's not on that hip hop stage either and not in any politian man's hands
we've settled with this sad system
once a seemingly shady place to lay
now just a corrupt colony for money
yet society seems satisfied
in this superficial state
of tinder dates
and temporary mates
facebook posts from far away
long forgotton friends
fulfilling their dreams
Instagram pics of pretty kittens
and beach front properties
where you'd never get to be
snap chats and tweeter feeds
we're wasting our time online
melting our minds in this melting pot
we have craigslist killings
and another school shooting
a little police brutality here
along with a hate crime there
the whole of human society
has become some sorry Shakespearean tragedy
in which we all perform
while in a blurry storm
of ridiculous news stories
that are now the norm
nothing is sacred anymore
and even thinking is obsolete
google this
my phone will know that
smartphones
in the pockets of
dumb people
stupidity grows each day
as self worth blows away
in the trash littered streets
filled with frightened fighting
afraid to see what's in store
for the uninsured masses
and the broken home
broken down blue collar
poorer than hell social classes
but I grow tired of these feelings
I get lost in these thoughts
found weighting down
my heavy head
the housing for
my rabbit hole mind
beaten down by time
and pointless pride
