We? There is no ‘we’ in the land of the free,
‘Ambition’ and ‘personal growth’ hold you under their knee.
Cognition degraded, littered with debris,
It plagues even those whom also agree,
Including me.

Even to escape as far as the acacia tree,
Where you sought glee,
And problems you thought you’d flee,
You can’t pull away, hop out, nor by plea,
It’s grey’s decree.
