Escaping the Influence of Societal Greed

Elevated insight
So clear
Bright surety

Releasing the grasp of kaleidoscopic obscurity
Accepting any false judgments

Microscopic impurities

They are just contemporary deceits
Don't let them become your present day defeats
Don't feel compelled to let your life be kept discreet

You have the power to disagree 
combating the issues of the common least

Questioning the integrity of cosmic longevity 
You find that the truth isn't always so heavenly 

You may want to give up
But there is no giving up gently

Escaping the influence of societal greed

I can't always be what you want me to be

You must fight
Fight hard and soft
And persevere till your knuckles bleed

Till there's nothing left but the will to be freed

Impassioned by the spirit to live
Tightening the rope
Till there's isn't any give

But to look in the reflection
And be able to forgive

Staring into our own eyes
This isn't the way it’s always been 
But this is the time
for your journey to begin
