America is a machine that makes slaves. How many Americans have never experienced unadulterated existence?
From my experience it's as if freedom never was. The essence of life is derailed as soon as possible. Indoctrinated with ideologies that benefit a master whether it's nationalism or a religion that has lost its spirituality. You can be a good kind genuine and honest person, but if you see this, the truth of this happening, you become an enemy. It's the only life path they allow, out of infinite possibilities.
Where could humanity be if it wasn't like this?
More children are going to be born to adults that work and then watch sitcoms and drink daily. More children are going to see that as if it's living. The ones that understand it's just farm scheme will not have kids and end up ostracized by the nationalistic society. Half the marriages I've seen don't even seem like love. It's as if people just get married because they are taught it's the next step and they just marry the person because they are too afraid to be alone so they lock down a crutch to hold themselves up at the expense of wasting someone's life and then birthing illegitimate kids that further a cycle of a shitty society.
"It ain't worth it, who cursed it?
Point the fingers at the ones who birthed it
Brought to earth, a brand new person
The same ones who called 'em all worthless
And called 'em good for nothin', I call them cousin
I call 'em brother and sister, I still love 'em
Brother and sister, I still love 'em
Brother and sister, I still love 'em"
