The present
Who are you
Who am I
Why is the life we know so wrong
What is the world
Who is the protagonist in my story
Am I the protagonist
Is it really my story
Who are we to know
But then who knows
Who are we
If not puppets run by capitalism
Raised to live on whatever they say
Who is they
Who are we as people
Who are we as individuals
What is human anymore
Are we human anymore
Is the robotic takeover conspiracy us
We are the robots so indoctrinated
So lost away from ourselves
Lost the light back to our individuality
We are gone
That is the present


The author's comments:

It is about the capitalism and greed in the US and the overall distruction of our individuality. To be condemned to robotic shells of ourselves as a result of relentless indoctrination.
