That place with padded walls and funny people in white.........

Can't you read between the lines?
Or are you all too busy struggling in the plastic six-pack nooses?
The spilled oil greases their hands
But the ozone umbrella of security
that used to block the dangerous UV rays
of truth
is disintegrating as pollutants are
pumped into our minds
Soon enough the euphoria of blindness will fade
As we see through the drugs
In the bloodstream of the world
And if people ever come around,
If we al just use just a little more
of the intelligence we're born with
Maybe
Just maybe
We can be happy

Are you looking for C & C (comments & criticism)? Not sure how critiques go over in this place - I'm new here.

I think the poem is good and the idea is great! If you're into rewriting... you could take this to the next level = perfection.

Soon enough the euphoria of blindness
will fade...this is a very powerful statement.
As we humans are always looking at things
and not really seeing how it really is...thanks for sharing!

I'll oblige.
Sys you're dead nuts on.
From an ex-six pack struggler you are too right.
