Think!
You can lead them to water, but you can't make them drink
It seems that we have forgotten how to think
Always following others, instead of taking the lead
What are we achieving, by falling into the temptation
Set by the nation that's
Full of mind control who has sold a bill of goods to masses
and infused it into the classes
and classrooms
Telling them it’s not okay to do drugs, vape, smoke or have sex
But it’s alright to overdose on social media and texts
And so we are consumed...
By repetitive conversations instead of true quality time
Lack of familiarity with personality
Leaving you cold as a fish
Wishing for life to end
because you no longer understand
and it demands too much from you
People, WAKE UP!
Can't you see that we are taking one
dose too many?
Can't you see that in accepting this media high,
we are losing our minds?
WAKE UP!
Rehabilitate yourself from this addiction
We cannot let this condition worsen
Quick- here's the solution:
Trudge through the dark sludge of this illusion by igniting the spark of brilliant glow
So you'll know the greatest feat
Is discovering who you are.
