Poem Title:
Poem
Internally unconventional, externally conform, In the game of life, it's the norm. Always watch yourself, like you're on a stage, Avoid regrets, don't let your actions rage. Bullies on the block, they don't care if you're nice, Speak soft, carry a big stick, that's my advice They don't care that you meant well, or how you feel your weakness is the foe, your strength keeps it real. [chorus] you see the same rules on different scales Where national policy spectacularly fails you see in school and in the street Details differ, same human flaws, they just repeat Psychopaths and criminals, a mystery untold, Their motives twisted, their stories cold. Confronting bad men, assume the worst, Act accordingly, before you're cursed. Watch out for the idealist, promising revolution, They'll manipulate your mind, cause confusion. Destruction lurks in unseen directions, Beware the traps, and their misdirections. [chorus] you see the same rules on different scales Where national policy spectacularly fails you see in school and in the street Details differ, relax, take a seat, it's the same beat No one's exempt from history's grip, Great men's mistakes, we all might slip. Bad organizations, breeding ground for sin, Leaders rise, with darkness within Beware the people with a disconnect They preach one thing, but act incorrect Activists on Indian land, claim they're green, Leave trash all over, for natives to clean Reading minds from faces, a futile endeavor, Intentions hidden, like predicting the weather. Don't make assumptions, from a two second look It takes time for people to reveal the inner book. Troubles compound, the more you go down Gotta face the facts, can't get out of town One trouble leads to more, it's a vicious path, The worst it gets, the more they laugh [chorus] you see the same rules on different scales Where national policy spectacularly fails you see in school and in the street Details differ, same human flaws, they just repeat These rules of life, hard-earned and wise, Navigate the world, with open eyes. In the dance of existence, don't be naive, Leave the matrix, take care what you believe.
