Ate Up From The Inside Out

I've had this tune in my head for a few days now. It's a slow little ditty, but raw at the same time. Sometimes it's soft and depressing, while other times it's defiant and somewhat confrontational. The words go like this though:

I don't know...

What to do...

When it's all

Around me...

I don't know...

Where to go...

Cuz everywhere

They're drowning...

So it crept into my head again today, and I started to think about the words, and what they were saying.  From the beginning you know someone is dealing with confusion and the feeling of being suffocated by their surroundings.  It seems like they want to get away, but they feel they can't because the problem is everywhere.  Everyone is drowning.  Is it actual water around, and are people literally drowning, or do the words just suggest people can no longer function in society?  You can't live if you can't breathe, and if you can't live then what's the point?  Are we all on respirators now?  Again, not literally, but look at how we live. Look at what we as a nation have added to our daily lives, from the things we eat to the things we do.  Through the mouth we ingest man made garbage that grows not from the ground.  Through our eyes we ingest irrelevant garbage that comes from the TV.  Through our ears we ingest lies and disinformation which we hear from everyone we run into, and that's because they've been watching the same brainwashing TV and radio as well.  We've changed the way we live as people more in the last seventy-five years than we have in the last ten centuries. No one use to rely on pepsi cola, pop-tarts, and cable television in order to get through a day.  It's went too far I think.  What's real anymore?  We put nothing but artificial products into our body's, fill our head's with jumbled up nonsense, and high five each other like it's all good.  It's about to come full circle.  We're about to reap what we've sewn the past sixty years.  Not to say there's not hope, but I believe it's going to take something drastic.  This world needs revamped.  Not with more buttered up bullshit to coverup the rot, but with something pure and true to repair the damage.  That starts with what goes into us all, as people, on the inside.  From the nutrients we need to grow, to the knowledge we need to flourish. Otherwise we're all just drowning...
