Poem Title:
Poem
I've been running low on sympathy, leaning on a new perspective The stiffness in my neck from viewing the world sideways, studying the selection Neglection of time, spreading through the false notion of stillness The end is painted on the walls and we are destined to be the illness War in laughter, throwing rocks and hiding hands with grins sowed onto faces Killing each other for the prize when we don't know what the race is Passing judgment and sending him to his death The consciousness lost, because of his experience Two sinners, two killers, waiting for their fate We are so quick to question the love and accept the hate Authenticity is lost in the sea of forgery, with the desperation to be great We are so quick to sell ourselves to get a sliver of that taste Neglection of time, so you live in the moment Neglection of faith, so you cannot focus Coming down from that high, you are left to reminisce And for some odd reason, you start to miss The knowledge of the Word that lives inside every human wanting to thrive Do you not realize? You can drown in your sins and say that you can swim But your breath is cut short by your own consciousness Your hunger for wealth is suddenly starved When you tilt your head back and thank the stars To the people in the world dying for a loan Never forget that this is not your home The riches, the egos, are killing this world The odds are cut slim when you don't have a cure It angers the sinners, does not make a difference They hate that the Word is worth more than millions Your world can be full, yet still feel so hollow who am I to tell you what to follow?
