_blinders of choice by `karincoma:iconkarincoma:





You say they're taught to
be blind and numb
Pleading ignorance
they fill their wardrobes with blinders
Matching their iphone screen's colors

Unconditionally loyal
Trusting every word
You say their drug of unawareness
Provides them endless joy

You say they're not stupid
That they were taught to see
Only what they need to
sell the very same blinders
To you or to me




What are you doing different
Longing to stay high
Willing to be absent
Gain the courage you need
to point out
they are blind

People picking blinders
For every single day
Every single morning
Before they even pray

What you doing different
'Nothing' I could say
They don't match your iphone
But they work the same

What's it doing for you
You know how they work

You taught yourself
they keep you immune to
all the bad things in you
All the evil in the world


You criticize their blinders
Keeping yourself blind
Unaware of all the good things

Two of them are
yourself and me.

The other one.

Is life.

I really enjoy this, especially the reference to the iPhone. This is so true, and beautifully worded. c:

Doesn't really have a lot to do with the brand or the device itself ya know ;)
It's just.. Everybody.. Ok, almost everybody keeps talking about those as if they were all of their unfulfilled dreams :D
As if they were gonna become better people only because they own one.
But I wouldn't get offended if someone gave me the iphone as a gift. But buying it.. And getting excited like being a teenager and looking at porn. No, thanks ;)

I know very well the worship of the iPhone, and I get what you're saying.
That's my exact problem with them- They're not a JESUS MOBILE. I don't care if everyone gets them, but everyone bowing down is creepish. They are good phones, I'll admit.

I would take one, but I wouldn't buy one. >w<
