3 dollar wine
From grocery outlet
Just to pass the time
Cause why not?
3 dollar wine
Beer
And
weed
Nicotine
THC
And
Caffeine
Adderall
Fast food
Fast driving
Fast living
with
Lots of sinning
Women
Lots of women
And
Dating apps
I hated dating apps
But
I loved women
Social media
Confirmation bias
And
The great intellectual hiatus
Likes
Dislikes
Constant scrolling
Consuming nothing new
But
As addicted to it
As much as the beer,
The weed,
The wine
As much as the nicotine
I argued
A lot
My point of view,
It was the right one.
But
So was theirs.
You couldn’t convince them
Just wasted words
Wasted time
On a wasted mind
Everyone was right
And everyone was wrong
Opinions were strong
Fear and hatred spread
I just took another hit again from the bong
The times were dark
But through the darkness
We tried to create art
We tried to move forward
To brighter days
They never came
We kept waiting
The news was a lie
And the people were getting high
Our lives on pause
What was the effect?
What was the cause?
The world was a mess.
Full of lies and death
Time stood still
And passed so quickly
People were ill
Some were ill in the body
And some were ill in the mind
We kept living
Just to pass the time
We had viruses
And riots
We had masks
Everyone looking out for their own ass
Divided by class
Taking a side
Taking a stand
Man vs man
And
It all seemed planned
