Future Illusions

Birth is the start of a life in chains
We’re led to believe our parents hold the reins
It seems the world is just an illusion 
You and me both, we are no exclusion 
To be truly free, you must believe you can see
Humans don’t realise there’s more to the picture, instead they move a piece, boom they’ve just hit ya’
Once you realise life is not a game 
You learn to sing and dance in the rain
This illusionary world that we keep on living in, step out of the chains and just start forgiving
If you want to give future generations protection
Really look in the mirror at your own reflection.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
