immature body
too mature mind
never quite friendly,
but always so kind
i wish i could be pushed over
wish my thoughts could learn to lay
my heart could be worn out
from too much wear, yet on my sleeves they stay
i cannot care of things smaller
than what i know now
i feel cynical
i feel benevolent
my empathy runs thin
between this world and my home town
i ask so little
i long for so much
of my people, their virtues
what they think is out of their touch
but indifference is a killer
to desire change is the key
"utopia means nowhere"
nowhere that you care to see
my mind wanders too far,
plunges too deep to reel in
"i just don't like people like that"
people that get under your skin?
rather we be unchallenged olympians
never question the comfort of our minds
be a target, and stay sat
yes, see, people like that
they like ruling "united"
united in blind eyes
and deaf ears
we like laying the ground
with our only consultant; the mirror
stay forever young i'll plead
and reap what you sow
the fountain of youth runs on knowledge
you stop learning, we will never grow
