Rut

Global complacency has got me stuck in a rut.
Teetering on the edge of wanting to not give a fuck.
As the madness keeps rising in this maelstrom state.
An avalanche comes crashing every second with hate.
Pushing peace into a shallow grave.

Juxtaposition has become the religion of today.
Having to be at odds all while embracing decay.
Rather than listen its all about who shouts loudest.
Obsession is ingrained by those who are proudest.
Subjugating justice until it withers away.

Implication has become proof in the eyes of this mob.
Raise these pitchforks until the innocent are not.
Persecution is the first letter in every new treaty.
Justified because that is what sells the highest quantity.
Twisting beauty into tortured entropy.

Kill or be killed, what a way to wish to survive.
Damage is done and I can’t get out of this drive.
Succumbed like the rest and I feel so hollow.
