psychotropic

time gives and we take for granted
time takes and we complain
but is it time that is at fault
or is our ignorance to blame

all I see is shadows
soulless beings that pass me by
hoping for connection
I am met with darkened eyes

greed and apathy control our minds
we have let hate rape our individuality
our hearts are filled with poison
existing with eyes wide open is a strenuous reality
