In the midst of pandemic
And turned 26 last week
I can’t risk getting sick
While armed with nothing
So I’ll sit here and contribute to the friction of
The same system that keeps me stuck
Net negatives into the world
Yet they’re blindly fueling us
But I can’t go anywhere
So we grind our teeth and we punch our pillows
Leave the Zoom happy hours early
Take it all out on what we can control
Whatever to keep those earnings
Instead of the grand umbrella we’re under
Blocking out the drip of our universe’s nectar
Filtering it into cans of Budweiser
Making it so I can’t go
Oh I can’t go anywhere
Isn’t it fun commodifying our fundamental rights?
Isn’t it fun drinking down this ideology every night?
Isn’t it fun hearing sound and fury and “solution” talks?
It’s 2020, America’s great, and capitalism rocks!
On the wrong side of every issue throughout human history
Why would this present be any different?
It’s not! So let’s get to working
How do we tear down these rooted tree trunks of fear and sunk cost fallacies?
Well, we try whatever we can to sow our fresh chaos seeds
To maybe grow something better than you and me
To maybe grow something better than what we now see
Let’s start to grow something better than you and me
Let’s burn and build and sow our chaos seeds
