Imitation of Life

How can you stand the imitation to Life the plastic products the trophy wife materials the symbols of your celebrity caged in the menagerie a heart that is not free Life does not consist in property owned the vultures picnic your persona dethroned every single lie does the shill swallow destroys your life the ideology you follow The pillage of planet where appetites sink desolation of humanity on the very brink moral cowardess and riotous living pursue the depth of depravity no longer the few We all know we’re broken but law has no control where a man does not care what lives in his soul it coaxes you with promises to pleasures delight but has stripped and defiled you cloaked you in night Fast cars and fast women the consumers dream what cost to the heart and mind does it bring the envy of others who in this succeed every craving satiated in its own greed Do those who occupy Wall Street really want change or is what they want the same status to arrange mans selfish desires he’d like to justify in same guise of lies under currants their cry The glitter of Babylon has society attended where selfish exaltation over others pretended when these things are gone what clothes a man what contribution to life where does he stand The trappings of costumes do become lifted and the naked display where ones soul has drifted when you strip the disguise what will you find the motivations that can human kind blind Just a small question when you rise every day your life and your choices will your character display your speech and your actions come before your judge what attributes did this peer pressure nudge What should move you to the truth glorify the war on your character seek to defy to incite those around you give life your thought not have the lies your consciousness bought The World has polluted our thoughts and our speech raped planet and humans by things it does teach but the dictators that rule planet God intends to impeach through the kingdom that Anointed Jesus did preach John 15:18 , 17:14 Gal 5:16-24 Col 3:5-10 ITim 6:9-12 IJohn 2:15-17 , 5:19 James 2 , 4:4 COPYRIGHT © 2011 C Michael Miller Poetry of Providence via Duboff Law Group LLC
