Matrix

The absurdity of the times we're in

The ad listing 100 side effects of a pill
shows a lady so glad and chill
looking cheerful and strolling calmly
although a dose could make you a zombie

There's a profit for those choosing
to invest on the drug she's using
is the motive truly health
or are they in it for the wealth?

Forests greedily taken
too bad, there's money for makin'
animals now without a home
so what, let them wander and roam

Jobs ripped away, people disrespected
human rights coldly rejected
and they don't feel much relief
from our ignorant commander-in-chief

Medicaid robbed from the needy, no big deal
why should we care how others feel?
gotta have those golf trips home, full stop
every weekend at three million a pop

Wars abound for no good reason
but tyrants find them pleasin'
suffering thrives; less give, more take
it's easy to feel this world is fake.

Time feels glitchy, moments overlap
it almost seems like a peculiar trap
that issues with a clear solution
are used for fear and confusion

How could humanity be so dense
to allow this experience
where did common sense go?
we need to fix this tragic clown show.
