Written in my thoughts, a circle and a dot.
Left to pay respect to rocks, yet no better life we sought.
Zestfully come home everyday, no worries left to slumber away.

The concept of heavy advance
Is there no time to rest?
A newfound feeling of stress,
As though this light the way to look our best.

Written in my thoughts, a dot and a circle
Mental manifest to outline a world of troubles
Left to pay respect to rocks, but a better view we sought
Too bad happiness can't be bought.

The author's comments:
This piece refers to the evolution on human nature from a time of simple bliss to a more corrupt state of being which has derived from the over appreciation for currency. Also written in hopes to spread awareness of underlying corruption in a modern society.
