This One

A Poem by ?:

[alt: "That One"]

Flip a penny: make a wish
Make a ripple in the fountain
Flick a quarter: New World Order
Is that really what you wanted?

What goes 'round goes 'round and 'round
And if it ever comes back
I guess that's circumstance
But I'm still not convinced
That there's too much more to it than that

How do things work?
Why should I care?
Although I'll always wonder how some things got there,
I'll never know for sure
The ones that think they do
Are the ones that try to choke me with their stare

Actors
Actors
Actors all around
I can't swim that well
But I'll kick and flail
And repeat the process 'til I drown
In the real world, there's no lifeguard
No pity for your cause
So save your preaching for the leeches
Go on, drink up all the blood you've drawn

Oh blissful ignorance, is this my resolve?
The things I don't know yet are the reasons I'm wrong
Death to tranquility! These are troubled times!
You won't transcend the turmoil by paying it no mind
Still there's no solution, at least none that I trust
I'll scream "WHAT REVOLUTION?!" as we all turn to dust
And comprehension, it eludes me yet again
All I've found is misinformation
And too many more questions
