Have you ever questioned the fine print?

The little words under the bold ones.

The reality behind all those promises.

The messages that you can't find at the end or the beginning,

Nor just by skimming through.

Have you ever tried to read all the way?

To detect those disconnections.

To interpret those falsities.

To comprehend the smallest of details that seem to mean nothing,

Yet wrap up contracts and contradictions.

Have you ever discovered the reason?

The coldness in their eyes.

The emptiness in the air.

The endless waterfall of words cascading down the paper,

So you don't even bother to read and give it all away.

We don't question. We don't read. We don't discover.

We just wait, pen in hand, for our lives to be stolen away.
