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
