Caricature of a Nation

Scared of our own reflection;
Scared of our own voice.
Lazily choosing poorly,
Lazily mis-choosing choice.

Conscience and talk of guilt
Like a concerned friend.
Conscious and full of hope;
Living as a means to an end.

Can't walk straight;
Can't talk straight.
Living off day and for night;
Living by sound and not by sight.

Extend the crotch and the nose;
Fill in the eyes with abundant woes.
Expand the dimness of mental strength
Finish the folly with unequaled length.

Problems without solutions,
Problems without absolution.
How do we choose prudence?
How do we reach resolution?
