to most of the world I'm a normal guy with my whole life ahead of me but to me
I'm a human being who's trapped in a broken century by broken century I mean
this fabricated society around me where luck determines rights and one person's
fortune depends on another's inequality this is the era of capitalism
competition and Industrial Revolution the era where profit comes first before
corruption and everything is counterfeit production in these times we reward
ignorance and sacrifice integrity for acceptance we willfully destroy the
environment and glorify idiocy over real intelligence welcome to the 21st century
the century of Instagram and fake facebook in this century you can be
ignored for your morals yet worshipped for your looks
because selfishness is portrayed as strength and kindness is mistaken for
weakness and the media teaches us to ignore what's important and instead
follow what's popular regardless we've been taught to believe that to be
successful we need to be wealthy real virtues like honor have become
irrelevant and people are now defined by their financial prosperity but as having
the best make us the best or does it make us robotic culture clones and are
we truly free if we can't spend a full day without the apps on our smart phones
do schools really teach us how to think our degrees desired for education or
validation perhaps they're there to teach us how to conform to Authority and
to prepare us for a broken system our religions and nationalities real should
they really be taken seriously after all they're just human constructs so why do
we fight over them why do ideas make people forget that humanity
all we are is humanity and so a person's quality of life should not be determined
by their skin color or ethnicity these things can't be chosen so they should
have no power over a person's freedom or opportunity why is kicking a ball around
the field worshiped by millions when starving children get little recognition
wire phones cars and possessions more of a concern and climate change and animal
extinction why is pop culture and entertainment prioritized
over world injustice and hunger why a celebrity seen as role models for
selling corrupt messages why do we make stupid people famous for being vulgar
what is it that we care about now status image titles perceived value what if
these are illusions and famous people are just people people who manipulate
and trick you why do we exploit and kill animals weaker than us because we're on
top of the food chain we do treat some animals good but only on the condition
that they offer us a personal game why do we keep fracking industrializing and
burning fossil fuels that's false innovation rapid unsustainable infinite
growth on a finite planet is impossible it will lead us to the collapse of
civilization if you haven't noticed the problem then you haven't been paying
attention we need to wake up because as a species we're not headed in the right
direction is it true that humans are intelligent or are we ignorant can
anybody hear me is honesty really a virtue if nobody wants to hear the truth
it makes no sense to me this is the 21st century yes still there's famine poverty
and war why should we work for a system which makes the selfish rich and the
selfless poor 1% of the world's population owns 35% of all wealth how
can we say this is fair and working is parasitical to our health see i don't
care if i'm a student or professor an employee or a CEO because it's the game
itself that's broken success depends on who you know not what you know the
majority of being exploited this is the reality of everyday the takers of
society bathed in greed while the common people slave away can anyone see it
we're living a lie we're part of a game but we don't realize some people win but
most people lose because their system only benefits a few it's lagging and
it's dysfunctional capitalism rewards the wrong people
prosperity isn't earned anymore it's a privilege dependent on exploiting the
poor these are the symptoms of a failing system this broken century needs to be
fixed it's time for revolution
