plastic trees

by chritty - Aries


in my house of glass
I sit here and stare out into the streets
everyone passes me by with smiles on their faces
happiness is all around
except in my house  made of glass
cheesy grins and fake ass attitudes
like I’m sure that you really care
about the problems are society faces
they are secure in their own little places
with fake plastic trees and astro terf yards
cars that run on the power of h2o
digital dogs, silicone bodies and designer clothes
they surround themselves in material things
just to drown out their problems
I have tried but my glass house
refuses to break
I’ve seen the suffering and the needy
I have felt the pain and had been one of the greedy
all about myself not caring about anyone else
it was allot easier that way
no strings attached
just watch your back 
and nothing else mattered
it was better that way
but in my glass house
its really hard to throw stones
because twice as many are thrown back at me
