Artificial Advancement in the Great Divided States , by Matt Subscribe to rss feed for 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
