Fact Not Fiction

Fact not fiction
Another rap from scratch, I've written
Flaws in every system
And organism
Constant competition
And schisms
People passionate about religion
Or looking at it with skepticism
Folks with belief in superstition
And others regarding it with suspicion
So much criticism
And contradiction
Lifeforms that have or haven't participated in cannibalism
Whether it was optimal or severe weather and living conditions
It went with or against tradition
Found out or kept hidden
Work in progress, no matter if it's building or demolition
Messages that arrived and didn't
With or without a messenger pigeon
Was it truly an accurate depiction?
Or just someone's opinion?
Near or far from land and where bodies of water glisten
You'd better listen
Pay attention and if you can, use your vision
Only so much time is given
So you better stay driven
Slowly but surely I have risen
With more ambition
I'm trying to keep the rhythm
Using better lyricism
While remaining winsome
As I pursue the expedition
Speaking the truth and seeking wisdom
I worked with many different items, including gypsum
Underneath skies that were blue, grey or crimson
