A Clouded Society

What's broken in a complete world What do you all hold dear When is it all gonna explode Where is the glue to hold us all together Unhinged we are insanely normal in a lack luster life Where is the freedom to be me in a world of we It takes its toll it creeps in like a thief in the night When these storms blow there is no sign of calm When we shut our mouths our hearts can't beat In this world now we need to speak freely We need to let others know how we feel We need to build them up not knock them down Today's agenda seems tainted by fear Stained by the blood of the few Our voices need to soar to new heights We need to be held we need to know its all going to be OK But today is not yesterday the masses of war wage on We fight so hard to be heard but the sounds of guns drain us all out I am here before you today on this canvas I wish to paint Colors of insercuties no longer scribbled I want us to see what a picture could be It is in all of us to change to evolve to reconcile Everything you need is right here just find the words to speak With time its all going to heal we are stronger as one never divided Because it is when you become the hunted in a game of chance you can't afford to not speak clearly in a clouded society.
