Imitation of Life
How can you stand the imitation to Life
the plastic products the trophy wife
materials the symbols of your celebrity
caged in the menagerie a heart that is not free
Life does not consist in property owned
the vultures picnic your persona dethroned
every single lie does the shill swallow
destroys your life the ideology you follow
The pillage of planet where appetites sink
desolation of humanity on the very brink
moral cowardess and riotous living pursue
the depth of depravity no longer the few
We all know we’re broken but law has no control
where a man does not care what lives in his soul
it coaxes you with promises to pleasures delight
but has stripped and defiled you cloaked you in night
Fast cars and fast women the consumers dream
what cost to the heart and mind does it bring
the envy of others who in this succeed
every craving satiated in its own greed
Do those who occupy Wall Street really want change
or is what they want the same status to arrange
mans selfish desires he’d like to justify
in same guise of lies under currants their cry
The glitter of Babylon has society attended
where selfish exaltation over others pretended
when these things are gone what clothes a man
what contribution to life where does he stand
The trappings of costumes do become lifted
and the naked display where ones soul has drifted
when you strip the disguise what will you find
the motivations that can human kind blind
Just a small question when you rise every day
your life and your choices will your character display
your speech and your actions come before your judge
what attributes did this peer pressure nudge
What should move you to the truth glorify
the war on your character seek to defy
to incite those around you give life your thought
not have the lies your consciousness bought
The World has polluted our thoughts and our speech
raped planet and humans by things it does teach
but the dictators that rule planet God intends to impeach
through the kingdom that Anointed Jesus did preach
