Crumbling

Another tragedy has hit the airwaves.
Blood and tears echo thoughts and prayers.
How much can we take?
Are we past the breaking point?

The corporations sell us the cure as a monthly subscription plan.
All to bandage the gaping wound that they caused.
Set the planet ablaze just to feel something.
As the vision of utopia is cut up and sold back to us piece by piece.

Who needs a human imperfect creation?
When the robots can just tell us what we want to hear.
Paint over the gloom with a painting of mismatched daisies.
Smile big for the camera before they knock you down to your knees.

Stay informed and stay locked in.
Soon your mind will become undone.
Too much pressure brings upon death by a thousand crises.
Hard to find solid ground while it’s all crumbling down.
