Indian Summer 1st edit- 71 degrees

I'm sorry
I slept so late,
sedated, indifferent.

C'mon, wake up.
Let's go do something.

Sounds like the intro to a children's show. I like it
I'm tired of everyone wearing the same ego./
They're like hoards of sheep, but a Mind is plain lethal./

Not sure I understand, Voker. Glad you liked it, but how is it like a children's show?
Thanks for reading,

The "C,mon wake up, let's go do something" part. Idk it just reminds me of Adventure Time. I personally would like it better if you added exclamation marks to that phrase.

Yes. I see. I think it was "show" that threw me.
Thanks again.

Don't care for the "so, so, do" combination. I'd edit all of them. And I also agree w/Voker about the children's aspect. That's not a bad thing, mind you. It just sounds like something a kid would say. That's why I would be tempted to shorten this even more. (words to edit: so, so, do, yesterday's, something). Short and choppy and let's go, let's go makes this exciting to me. Dragging it out w/adverbs bogs it down.

Thanks 71. Just posted an edit to your credit that I hope is more succinct.
