Famine of Life

What is it intrigues one to know existence Is it the thrive for life or living we endure Famine of life as deadly as dark soul we live Like book, covered words hidden inside beneath Definition easy to read, trust no one Life has no remote, only change can you do yourself But your act, pain and sickness you kill with knowledge With everything you do, side effects be tremendous Is it we think we are, therefore we are not The genius to smartness but yet we are so dumb Our consequences are deadly no matter what we believe We speak big words, no one understands ever Word like court judge, guilty I find in ignorance To think you are better the paper did not say But only you succeeded to graduate, not top of class But equal like all others before and after Your brain no different, therefore you think Famine of life, like decaying world we stay We claim to help when in fact we do not know Just another species, dead at the hands of man Is starvation of the dream or one's stomach hungers We fight the loosing battle to be the same Each one different inside with the same struggle Where money rules, what is it to have That I have not but reality to face everyday Where is freedom of life that I pay to live To breath filthiest of scum's who reign That only one day I be taken away to the heavens Real or not, I just know I be free Of the famine of life, my thirst as dry as desert Where weeds, only growth to my older days Famish, just another day I hunger in presence of mankind
