Are you so sure it ends up all the same that the toxics in your wake
are easy to forget
Are you just as good as dead but still wasting resources while
steadily increasing your debt
Do things seem to be moving faster though you are slowing down
Is there another sound bite to be swallowed every time you turn
around
Are you absolutely convinced you could make no difference so you’ve
nothing to regret
Why must you wantonly and guiltlessly smash and grab just as goddamn
much as you can get
Do you live just for today, without any history, or even memory of
the past
Are you striving to go for the gusto but merely gaining weight way,
way too fast
Is it really just that you are so sure you can’t do anything that
matters, anyhow
Is it all so overwhelming that you must just lay there flipping
channels on the couch
Are you too old, too ugly or too poor to take part in this orgy of
mass consumption
Does your anger spiral down into thinner layers of increasingly-black
depression
Would you really do something meaningful if you were simply given
just one more chance
Are you standing up for your beliefs or aping some advertiser’s
well-scripted stance
Is there truly nothing you can do or is it way easier to float than
to try to make a difference
Is it the end of the world or just a bunch of wacko conspiracy,
junk-science nonsense
Have you found your true calling or are you just fiddling with your
iPod
Are you quite positive that it all gets done with a cynical smirk, a
wink and a nod
How many different ways have you found to say real loud that you just
don’t give a fuck
How is it that your success to date really differs from plain and
simple, dumb luck
Are you rushing hard and ever faster at goals that you have never
even specified
Did you go out to contemplate the cold black emptiness and run back,
quite petrified
Do you trust that blind individual hyper-patriotic greed earns the
blessing of your god
Or is there a sense that the movers and the shakers are all part of
some greater fraud
