Inside The Box (my 1st post!)

Something I was thinking about tell me what you get out of it....

Inside The Box

I want to live inside of a box, an empty and shallow box/
then I could feel what it's like to never think outside of the box/
then I could know what it's like to wither away in a hopeless existence/
that seems rich on the outside but lacks any internal substance/

I want to live inside of a box, my eyes glued to a television screen/
brainwashed by the media into believing the false information that I see/
blinded by the bright lights and the images of drug fueled fast nights/
our soul is sold on a mortgage in order to live the fast life/

I want to live inside of a box, where origality of thought is forbidden and laughed at/
where our only motivation in life is to look good and stack cash/
fascinated by girls gone wild and visions of butt naked hoochies/
seeing all young women as sex craving street corner slut groupies/

I want to live inside of a box, where my mind is waisted and withers away/
as I rot inside this box and shallow, ignorant music plays/
the world's smallest violin creates a melody of slow agony/
as I see that we are all trapped within the monotony of a cold reality/

word definitely the power of the media and influence
you just got to think
how much could what i say and do really reflect others
and to just tell you what sounds reasonable and proper
ends up clashing with the eccentric and starving
cuz we thirst for power,status appeal and lots of approval

like you wish you could turn yourself off from the influences of others
then they might say you just dont want to have an open mind to what actually could be occuring?
problem is to open your mind to hear others so much may take from the actual realness of the situation
cuz of the power of certain peoples influence...
lol long ass reply but it made me think
