Visions of people are beamed to us, lives as they seem to live
Some volunteer to be filmed and masquerade their ethic.
Some shed more than ethic to make an example to be followed
Inhibitions so to shed and portray non existent values
;
The shades of colour that the world offers, blinding though they are
Is a reflection of a people trying recklessly to be seen, to stand out
A carnival of exposure to lull the senses into observing that which adorns
Who do we want us to see, why a sense of longing for appreciation from an unknown
;
Discuss we must lives of others, a means to justify personal conversation
We thirst for information, not knowledge for a higher learning
Must we look down upon the folly of others, are we at a higher plane?
The world teaches to trample our own to follow mirages
;
Do we become the child being fed by the mother
A people afraid to have faith, scared to question the existence of shadows
Do we look fervently to the neighbour, a comparison of sorts
A peek into their life to, to justify ours
;
Do we need borrowed ethic, are we not satisfied with our own
Have not those that have raised us given us the tool for a reasonable living
Do we need to ape those that have less than they can give
Have we not the reason within, are we blinded by propaganda around us
