thoughts

we forget ourselves on the shore of nothingness, who will we be tomorrow when there is no one to tell us? we live alone until partnerships are created, we survive yet earn nothing. one day it all seems to make sense - this cruel world we live in. struggling to survive we see their faces on the screen, we feel nothing, switch to the next channel where you've been framed is showing. we feel nothing so we are nothing. only selfish wounds can make us think and reflect, what if that was us? we never think that because we are sure it will not happen. or are we? are we lulled to sleep by our own denials? when will our eyes open and we will know to act? will it ever happen to me and you? revolutions happen when things are in need of change, there is so much to change here but we do nothing. we wait for someone else to take the first step, the first flame set to institutions we all hate, but do not know it yet. when will we stop caring even about ourselves? i think we already have, we do nothing, we say nothing, no flames are lit in our world tonight. only a candle to light our living room, while the box pukes images of suffering onto our plates as we eat. who will rise first? will it be you, will you want to change the world? are we happy here, with our meaningless lives that brings us every day closer to the end of our time? I want to change something, but where do I start, where do we start? will one hand outstrecthed be enough for a world to change? not really, so we continue our waking sleep until the pain is our own and we are forced to deal.
