A Poets View of Reality
I'M JUST A POET,
I SEE THE WORLD THROUGH MY EYES.
I'M NOT A PUPPET
TO SHARE POLITICAL LIES.
DO YOU THINK,
YOU CAN THINK FOR YOURSELF ?
HOW DID THE RICH
END UP WITH YOUR WEALTH ?
DO LIKE THE RICH
YOU WERE ONCE TOLD.
YOU CAN BE COMFY,
WHEN YOU GROW OLD.
DON'T LET MEDIA
FILL UP YOUR HEAD.
THEY CALL IT BRAINWASH,
IT'S REALLY BRAIN DEAD.
WATCH OUT
FOR THE OLIGARCHS.
THEY'RE SURE TO TEAR
YOUR HEAD APART
THEY WILL INSIST
YOU DO AS THEY SAY.
PUT UP YOUR MONEY
AND THEN YOU CAN PLAY.
YOU WON'T BE A PLAYER,
YOU'LL JUST BE A PAWN.
YOU'LL CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT,
YOUR MONEY IS GONE.
I'M SORRY NOT MONEY.
IT'S REALLY A NOTE.
VIEWED BY OTHERS
AS A REALLY SICK JOKE.
I UNDERSTAND,
WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TOLD.
THE TRUTH ABOUT MONEY IS
MONEY IS GOLD.
I'M JUST A POET.
I SEE LIFE THROUGH MY EYES.
WISDOM OR MONEY
I WOULD RATHER BE WISE
