Obsession and Contradiction

August is such a nuisance.
It and its never-ending heat.
My hard found peaceful mindset disrupted.
like a crumped-up paper tossed aside.

Nobody cares for the truth or knowledge no more.
Don that shining garment and social feed once more.
It equals success and it's all we've ever known.

We're all obsessed with each other,
Our words contradict one another.

Without obsession and contradiction,
we are lost in a labyrinth of false identity.
