Lies like heaven sent

Perspective fouled - twisted, bent

Now all too frequent

Sponsored mirage - Marketing sabotage

And a two-car garage -

Promises fulfillment.


Comin down again;


The pain much like the same

Goes by another name - after all;

It s all pretend.., just hit send

Then forget what it meant –

Lost all heart

Till convinced it’s real - Makin it a big deal

A bonanza – a real steal – check the charts.


Too smart to be stupid -

Too stupid to be smart –

Lacking significant appeal

Confused from the very start

Caught naked then falls apart.

Arrogance with superior attitude

Bought insane lattitude.

State-of-the-art for the multitude -

Work till your dead for a roof and a bed

Cause gratitude they forgot to include;

Servitude sounds so rude

They call it slavery

But, you know, it’s something to do.


Sold-out Gurus say Freedom's alive..,

Behind produce - round aisle five;

Don’t be deprived

Reduced to seduce

Don't wanna abuse

Individual cosequences may vary

Sounds scary; But..,

Gonna need it to survive.


Too smart to be stupid -

Too stupid to be smart –

Lacking significant appeal

Confused from the very start

Caught naked then falls apart.
