In My Mind

Ravaging the state 
The state ravaging my mind
How do I know, I see my kind
Entertainment is the tool
To fool the watcher to see a brighter light
Deep down lies  the eye 
How do I know, I saw it with my mind 
The deception lined up to follow each lie,
How do they plot?
they work in numbers and im one,   
No matter how far i run
I can never hide, 
Monitored from day one

I close my eyes and wonder
I paint a picture with my thoughts 
That brush stroke which can never be erased 
The gold, that old memory which has been left untold 
Is it bad or just  plain sad
Its all in my mind and how I project it
Depends on the angle you are facing
 
So please read,
listen to my words as they play in your thoughts as you think of me, 
is it real or fake
Is it true or fiction 
Will never know, its part of my intuition 
The darkened picture the light left for me 
That cold stare history gives me
Its how people conveyed it to me
But let it be, as I'm me
And I can never change the being that the mirror reflects but maybe I can be the change of the many people who payed for there lives for shouting words that pierce through the system and all minds.
