TARNISHED FOLKLORE


 


 


Social indifference


OxyCotin apathy


Corrodes our vacant minds


Blind eyes


Vacant tears


Politely


Eschew injustice


Sterile prism of human emotions


Dismal dyestuff


Reluctantly


We trudge along


Well worn path to emptiness


Lethargic pariah


Curse of “I don’t give a damn”


Grave burden indeed


Knights in shining armor


Fulfilling American conquest


Alas


Tarnished folklore


What nirvana it would be


This hell


We call society


If everyone cared


Shared


Practiced peaceful brotherhood


How miniscule


We truly are


Vast epoch


We call life on earth


Time for new beginnings


We


All free


To choose as we see fit


Reality


Doesn’t have to suck


Compassion


Love


Peace


Achievable goals to live by


Swallowed pride


Begins with me


Consider this an olive branch


Loyalty
