Shallow Lives

Shallow plastic people

Living shallow plastic lives

With shallow aspirations

Believing shallow plastic lies

With these shallow aspirations

They obediently follow along

To their corrupt and lying leaders

Whom they believe can do no wrong

Wearing polyester clothing

With an eerie plastic sheen

Reveal the shallow reality

Of their shallow plastic dream

With artificial smiles

Upon all their plastic faces

Betray the tragic reality

With shallow plastic traces

If these shallow plastic people

Might one day, if they dare

Wake to the harsh reality

Then they could become aware

That their shallow plastic lives

Have no real meaning

Living lives without any value

With what they are believing

In an artificial economy

Where lives don’t really matter

With importance upon the former

But less upon the latter

Until these plastic people

Wake to the wisdom of the truth

That the real things of value

Are that all lives have great worth
