smiles and tears
safe in fears
torn by our hopes
free yet tied
released in long ropes
in the battle
we stand to fight
blinded insight
do we really know?
or is it just a reality show?
breeding some cattle
we sink in confusion
freeze in the fusion
asking the impossible
achieving the compatible
trying to settle
acting smart
cheating the heart
time is the enemy
and the beloved
that is the riddle
we say the words
pleasing the lords
but are we pleased?
or may be seized?
seeking fake medals
human greed is the answer
guilty regret is right after
we were born mourning
screaming for another morning
to restart
aren't we smart?
or may be we are just a renovated chart
evaluating from an early stone age.
