In The Real World

I hate symbols

I love people who've made real change

I aspire to be one of those people

I hate brands

I love a sincere message

I aspire to always give a helping hand

Things simple and true

-- are yet complicated and unattainable in the real world

I hate liars

I hate people who talk too much and never act

I hate people who put on an act

Yet in the real world we are all actors

In the real world you have to define yourself

What is your brand? What is your symbol?

Many corporation created symbols that you can wear

Many people become symbols that you can wear

Many people aspire to be a symbol that you can wear

In the real world, the air is polluted by all the wrong things; stuff

It's hard not to inhale some of that air; to come back to your senses

The city gets foggy, it's hard to see things clearly

Hard to see that you don't need a damn mask to exist

But you do need a mask to protect yourself from that air pollution.
