Antithesis at 10:17 AM

We all seem so monochromatic
So senseless and over dramatic
We never examine our world to see all its facets.
Hide behind these paper walls
We sacrifice ourselves just like a doll.
The very thing we create is the one thing we hate.
Giving our souls to a thought and a pose
Never quite realizing that it is ourselves were surmising
We have lost our souls and with them control.
What has happened to the days in fields of grass were we laid
Staring at the stars in their great cosmic fray
Of lost summers and bitter lovers.
We have forsaken these days of our lives
Trading them in for the fame and the lies
We have forsaken the beauty of our childhood and the freedom we once had.
We are no longer true to ourselves we have lost our hearts
Were stuck in some padded room wondering why we fell apart.
We no longer love ourselves and think for ourselves
We are no more than empty shells
In this world that has become our own personal living hell.
We have truly become the very thing we hate.

You and me, we're the same
Asking for more
More than the numbing existence
Offered us all
What did they say? What did they do?
To make you crawl back here
Despite everything that you've been through
You're still right here
Where I left you
We can lift up our heads to the sky
Find all of those strings that they're pulling
And keep from falling back
into our old rhythmic poses
Turning us into machines

And one of these days we'll no longer betray
Ourselves in anyway
We won't all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray
Ourselves in anyway
Then we'll all take the same way out

And all these illusions
Dropped on a sea of believers
Crowding around as they hunt me down
And throw me out
While all the rest of the others
Bang their heads in the trenches

And one of these days we'll no longer betray
Ourselves in anyway
We won't all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray
Ourselves in anyway
Then we'll all take the same way out
So don't give up on me
We can be still pretend
This is all just a game
That'll work itself out in the end

I Know at 2:16 PM

I always wonder why children these days are so shallow like a part of their brain is missing, The real eye opener lies just below the surface. We live in a world of mass consumerism, children of this place in time are constantly bombarded by media selling products and pushing trends but what we do see is how children take this in.
I know that I as an adult connect all the things going in the world around me like the wars and cultural shifts and political affairs while I know that as a child I saw thing more like a slide show seeing things as focused parts, separate, detached like seeing a fight but not know why its going on, where as now I see what happens and what starts thing and what the connections are.
Children right now are bombarded with an insistent barrage of commercials and media, in its own way the children are turning into puppets of what the watch and here because that is the lens they look at the world through. Girls are changed the most by this as even the most subtle things in the shows that we let them watch, take for example the classic fairytale story of the handsome Prince saving the beautiful princess and the fact that the princess is always beautiful not matter where the story is being told, in a subliminal way is programming into their heads that in order to be loved or noticed they must be beautiful or pretty and that is where the marketeers and media come so heavily into play, pushing the idea that you must wear this or buy this in order for them to be beautiful e.g. sexy. even though I do not have the complete ability to explain this in more detail it I wish to for it worries me deeply, how will I ever protect my children.......
