Beyond the Establishment and System

We're locked in system Bound in chains, By a system that doesn't want us free again, Caught in a society that barely cares Inundated by advertisers selling their wares, While government forces rules and laws down our throats In a nanny state society we are all controlled. Working for corporations and selling our souls Never making a stand or getting too bold To fight for our rights And somehow make a change in our lives Governed by fat cat men who are all too old Seeking to line their pockets and gain power and control And their is nothing in anyway that we can find that consoles But I for one am past the point of overload Travelling into a place of the unknown Of opting out the system, the establishment and state Going beyond the rules and ditching the hate As promoted by the media With its domesticated displays.

This epitomizes so many things for me that matter - silence, calm, mindfulness. Wow!

Endearingly fun; especially in the final line, Gershon.
