Let's move out (of this state of mind)

How is life out there?
All of you fulfilling everything
while I struggle to know what everything is
and what it's all here for.

Humanity is a struggle,
a push and pull
because it changes so much
as time ticks on.

At one time slavery was considered humane
and at another striking a child
with a ruler for being out of place.

Technology was used for saving time
and now so much of it is wasting time.

But is wasting time really that bad?

Everyone has so many hours
there has to be time for fun.
Let's sit around and talk
about 

• life
• religion
• equality
• family troubles
• bad grades
• and other stupid things

but never really do much else.
Let's just talk and goof around
laugh and hurt and cry out loud.

Let's go see your favorite band
and maybe flip a bird at your old man
for a stupid fight that does nothing
because they'll love you anyway.

Let's go do mundane jobs
that have no value to us
because money is required
before we can do what we truly want.

Let's escape and run
to a state of mind
where no one can tell us
"your generation is lazy
and nature impaired"

Let's waste time
because we have so much
and that's fine
we have years to decide
what our societal contribution
will eventually be.

Because if we didn't waste time
if we didn't make a mistake
if we didn't screw something up
and yell and scream at people
and regret all of it later

then
how can we really say we're human?

You really want to know what it is to be human?


then
Start wasting time, and find out who you are
because human isn't a definition
but a state of mind that many of us
have yet to acknowledge and explore.
