Everyone’s a mouse…


Every home a cage…


Every neighborhood a prison block…


Every town and city a rat maze…


Every highway a hamster tube…


Everyone’s going somewhere, but are they getting anywhere in the long run?

People go to faraway places but make no progress at the same time.


Everyone is going nowhere


Every dollar earned is a rare but short-lived achievement…


But every dollar simply given is part of feeding time…


Those who notice this are silenced and pushed away…


These individuals are left alone to look around at their world in utmost dismay…


Oh, all of those fakers, to the truth they close their eyes…


But if only they realize the inevitable human vice to dominate, and from who they trust, there may be a nasty surprise…


Illogic is the new logic…


Ethical is the new unethical…


Hate is the new love…


Love is the new hate…


Common sense is the new idiocy…


Idiocy is the new common sense…


Fair is the new foul…


Foul is the new fair…


Depression rates are rising, but are they really depressed?


Or are they aware of the truth and suppressed?


Are some of the insane ones placed in the cells or hated on media really insane?


Or are they smeared and condemned by the insane?


It would not be long for they would see corruption in everything, they’d begin to wonder if forfeiting this twisted game would be the right thing…


After their will to live reduces, they would be at the edge of a high place or behind the nooses…


Oh, if only the world knew, that there is much they could do. There are more effective things than what, being triggered on social media?


Simply downvoting or unfollowing someone would do nothing, they always have a legion behind them.


You’ll soon know I’m right, that in the darkness of these morbid times, there is always a way to turn on the light.
