A Stand

I wonder if life is meant to be this way, Dreams broken and shattered without a doubt. Why must things remain this way? Only judgment will determine the fight each day. Control is a big issue and used to trap many fools, Try to stand up or speak up and you only lose. If a spouse is involved they will make you choose, Break your spirit and chew you up like food, Down the toilet it goe's like Mississippi Blues, Reporter's usually report bad news to keep you glued to the tube, Pierce the flesh and watch it bruise, It's time again to rise up and make a civil move, Living in today's world there are so many things to prove, So why fight for a country that is leading us to doom.
