Blind Eyes, Blind Lives

In 2012 what will they say?
 What words will echo at the end of our days?
 A disenchanted nation on permanent vacation
 A recycled retired failed operation
 Self-indulge as you succumb to this me-generation
 Pay no attention to the signals they send
 Turn a blind eye rest assured
 The property values climb sky high
 At the expense of the marginalized
 As you stroll down the unfamiliar streets
 Reaping the benefits of a fleeing city
 The libraries are closing
 No children left behind
 They are swept under a rug forever lost in time
 Self-indulge as you succumb to this me-generation
 Pay no attention to the signals they send
 Turn a blind eye rest assured
 The property values climb sky high
 At the expense of the marginalized
 Crocodile tear drops
 War toys for tots
 Give the gift of giving
 But you're clearly not listening
 To the words they say
 As the kites drift away.
