Social Tedium

I say I’m not like them So therefore I am I scroll through the scum So therefore I am The pastime makes me numb It makes me feel dumb I think I am dumb

Come stroll through the wasteland of society You can fight through the crowds of inanity See flashy billboards of insanity Look at image after image of vanity You’ll see poorly veiled self deprecation Stage sets of fake lives Fields of naïvety Travel agency posters of vacation destinations

Black hole fun Won’t you come and wash away the pain? Lives indisposed and posed Lives disguised in expensive masks All the while the true nature is better Their profiles make them lesser Just be you Just be happy I think I’m happy

Oh make me over Im all I wanna be A walking study in humanology Mindless cacophony Ceaseless monotony I think I am

Go think for yourself Stop taking what’s on the shelf Shut it off— leave it Go out and live— explore your own mind Enjoy your own amazing life of little great things

Allow medium to be your comfortable size Let medium be your medium

If you would Could— you?
