all the bullshit and bureaucracy in the world?
what happened to the dreams
to the aspirations of greatness, to the visions of things that mattered?
how have i, have we
gotten so bogged down by this stifling suffocating paraphernalia of pointless and meaningless cling and clatter

how have we lost our joy, dreams
our souls our youth
have we simply grown old and thus disillusioned?
how do we become more
how do we break away from all this
this mediocrity

if what i see just disappoints
do i close my eyes
