Shackled Society

We hide
walk with empty steps
and speak
too loud to understand
and have seen
too much to believe
it's all too real
and too hard.

Empty wires
carry our voices
across the world
and yet
we're too busy
to sit and talk
the world demands
a little too much
but we still
have time to complain
of desires
unfulfilled
and dreams
that never come true.

Coffee is the life line
they cling to
sugar
gives the high
that we haven't realized
we need.

Society is fake
full of non-opinions
made by someone else
for us
because we can't think
for ourselves.
