The System is Fine. Pt.1

Freeform 2/23/2026

The system is fine,

Or so they poclaim

But something doesn’t sit quite right in you mind,

So you ask them to explain

The response is never quite clear,

And so you start to slowly fear

The system is fine

Or so they proclaim,

But something seems quite out of line

So you begin to ask,

It’s simply a matter of time they say

Sit down, have a drink, and relax,

The system is fine

Or so they always insist,

So you repeat to yourself the same mantra,

But something inside resists

If this is fine,

Then something’s surely been missed

The system is not fine,

You’ve begun to observe

And now you cannot avoid the truth

It is a part of you, engrained, as sure as sinew and nerve

Do none of them see it?

Or do they all choose to ignore,

Perhaps some of them do

And they press on to grow it even more

The system is fine when you are it’s master

After all,

Opportunity is borne out of desperate disaster

Now with no doubt,

You know of the treason,

That the system is fine

But for quite different reasons

It’s not meant for you, and it’s not meant for me,

Money does grow on trees

Yet we cannot see above the tall weeds
