All lips are hushed, the same thought on everyone's mind. The system is broken. Thieves and liars hold sway in dark chambers where they facilitate laws that only embolden their own greed. Nobody talks about it, every day a little more of our pride, freedoms, and futures are taken from us. We know it, and though we dont believe the lies that justify it, we do nothing.
That is the American Way. We do nothing.
Relentless, we spend hours watching the stories of others who rose above their circumstances and overcame. Hours watching mythic heroes, larger then life themselves capable of anything using the same tools available to our lowest citizen. Those who don't watch listen. Listen to the dull voice of a priest or pastor, preaching against vice while promising salvation that some absent God will interfere in our lives to right all the wrongs in the world.
Fictions. All wrong.
The dead know best, no one is coming to save you.
Unbind your hands. Don't wait for Superman, he's not coming.
