thanks, but no thanks.

'excuse me,
for wondering.
the world,
the people,
been evolving in the weirdest way.

is it caused by education?
is it caused by idealism?
is it caused by ego?
is it caused by fear?
is it caused by pride?

not too sure.

a tainted thought,
of the classic life.
idealism,
has been a favorite word and thought.
at least for me.

wise to foolish.
kind to vile.
mindful to blind.
optimist to skeptic.
lovers to strangers.

what a waste.

a drifter becomes cool.
an arrogant becomes cool.
a player becomes cool.
an ignorant becomes cool.
a rascal becomes cool.

slowly but sure,
all are made believe.
the hard facts above,
then be addicted,
to little white lies.

how senseless.

must all learn to be,
fakes?
must all learn to be,
hypocrites?
must all learn to be all those things?

to deserve happiness,
to deserve success,
to deserve loyalty,
to deserve love,
to deserve life.

oh thanks, but no thanks.
