Useless To Say

 It is so useless to say anything and simply pointless to argue

your opinion does not matter since no one cares or listens

It is such a waste of time and every path winds up just the same

And everything can be captured in a few shades of gray

It is all very boring and it is all so bloody useless

all your life has been spent simply wasting precious resources

The tasks they spend their time on are irrelevant and stupid

all the really good things are ignored or quickly trampled over

The days are all the same, spent performing pre-programmed actions

and the freedom in your mind acts upon predetermined choices

The days grow ever hotter and the earth is always getting dirtier

but there is precious money to be made and silly management to be done

The times pass by more quickly for everyone, each and every year

except for those who disappear once again into the void

The people grow ever fouler through constant contact with each other

the madness growing ever stronger through collective repetition

There is no rhyme or reason, though many keep on searching

so you blame yourself for your confusion and for being such a dullard

There is no way to fight back and no alternate universe to flee to

but there are many forms of drugs that many people find useful

You are here for the briefest fleeting second and still manage to waste time

so our foolish lessons are not passed on and it all happens once again

We are comic in our self-absorption and silly in our incompetence

and our voices are mere whimpers while our hopes are but pathetic

Our goals in life are fuzzy and our strategies remain undefined

We will wonder why things end as they do, if we get a chance

There is no hope for dreamers nor any dream of hope

but still we fight on against the demon of our despair

Men are simply pigs who soil everything they touch

The future is not brighter, for really, things are not getting better

The odds are overwhelming that our kind vanishes again, into dust and into ashes

Yet, despite and because of it all, that hopeless good fight simply must continue
