It's the System, Not this World

You show your anger
toward this world,
the world that you owe
everything.

When in fact,
it's the way you
and your brothers have
created the world's
system.

It takes control,
you must realize
and all you want to do is
escape.

We submit our emotions now,
not to rash reactions and useful hobbies
but electronics, movies, and
such tangible possessions.

We blame, and yet ourselves need to think,
we have become adjusted to this system
we created to lock emotions, and compare
instead of being
content.

Complain, but you too,
have made this world such.
We allow it and adjust to it's rules and regulations.

Why don't we stop?
Are we that afraid of change?
