I walked into a hell not of my
own choosing
i put my faith in dreams created by 
corporations
to keep us in the dark
so we will be obedient submissive
consumers of products

I filled my head with naive idealistic
fantasies
of having friends and getting married  
and making a difference
and our world getting better
and better

i imagined a world without war
and without poverty
and without pollution
i dreamed a desperate dream of hope
for the future


And then one day
the sky fell
