I used to argue with the TV
Now I just turn it off.
Same faces, same slogans-
None of them mean it.
I watch the world from my window
While they barter truth for clicks.
It's not evil anymore,
Just exhausting.
The more I see
The less I need
The more I know
The less I bleed.
They sell the air now.
Did you hear?
Bottled it up
And slapped on a logo.
People thanked them.
Clapped even.
Everyone's got a mission,
Everyone's got a price.
Mine must've slipped
Through the cracks in the floor.
The more I see
The less I speak
The more I give
The more they take.
I'm not angry.
Not even disappointed.
Just tired.
And strangely free.
