Image of the life we live.

Márkus Csaba 2002 (Budapest)

Lil' kids swingin' in the back, while they are with the fam'
They're livin' in the best possible way you could expect
They're so vivid it's like they blessed, now these are just straight facts
It's an image we impact, and we're livin' in it with fear at best

About this poem

I was just thinking about the Uvalde shooting and It kinda got me thinking. The line: "It's an image we impact" was some kind of a metaphor. What I talked about in the first 3 row draws a picture, an image of the life we live in, what It is usually and what It should be, and we impact that image with everything we do kinda. We live in the image, and If everything is going great we Live the Image, but we are now living in it with fear, fear at best. Didn't want to overexaggerate the situation, but inditaced with "at best" that I think that the situation is far worse than us having fear more like feeling frightened.
