“I give the fight up; let there be an end,
A privacy, an obscure nook for me.
I want to be forgotten even by God.”

(Yes, I know chelaxing is not a word, live with it)
Can we
We build machines with such complexity
We thrive for power and collected wealth
Yet in eighty years of life time
Few will ever study their “self”
Few will ask what am I
Even fewer will look for the truth
Many will place their faith in gods
Without a shred of proof
Many will follow politics
To benefit their own
Not much ever gets past down
To the peasants kneeling prone
Many will follow nothing
Thinking there’s not much left that’s kind
Fewer will have the courage
To investigate their mind
To find out what makes you you
And the point of you in all this
Are we really all just monsters
Destroying harmony and bliss
Is this the point of you
Is this why you were made
To toil for someone else
And watch as they get paid
And when you see your wages
You know you are on the skids
Your toil and manual labour
Isn’t enough to feed your kids
Is this the reality we want for our future
Is it time to reassess
Is it time to look past ourselves
And change this awful mess
And before you say we cant

“What has to be explained is not the fact that the man who is hungry steals or the man who is exploited strikes, but why the majority of those who are hungry don’t steal and why the majority of those who are exploited don’t strike.”
