Nothing to understand, all this nonsense

Nothing left to understand but nonsense
of course, I know nothing, an innocent
this bit of subterfuge is the refuge
honored by that rare bird, a bit less dense
in all honesty, less thick in the head
not simply born to think, but yes, hell-bent
given disparities the masses choose

to their own benefit, short-lived, for sure
of course, they believe they are right, less said

underneath the facade, the truth remains
nobody knows the whole truth, they pretend
defer to legal scholars to defend
exactly what pertains inside their brains
residing and presiding as the cure
study whatever your heart desires
to see the big picture in the details
accept all the dichotomies as false
no ideas, great or small, put out fires
decide that water is the truth, the law

accepts slavery in all forms, then fails
lets go of past mistakes, accepts all faults
leaves the past to scholars, moves on, action

theater reproduces pantomime
how to make sense as everything passes
in one ear and out the other, gasses
shift in equal reaction, how to climb

not up the corporate ladder, a flaw
of the system, we create the future
not out of the ashes of a phoenix
semblance appears real, the world has no cure
except for certain diseases, the fix
nevermore present as a distraction
semblance appears unreal, as if to learn
each day, hungry minds continue to burn
