Insidious Ways
We are surreptitiously taught
Insidious ways
By a system that is twisted, flawed and that's lost its way
We are taught to respect it without thought or question
So many do exactly that without factual digestion
This system teaches more about war than peace
More about the winners throughout history
It does not teach you about love or spirituality
It teaches you religion in its dogmatic obscenity
Teaching us that if you sin you go straight to hell
Teaching us the guilt that goes with as well
And how we should follow a set of rules
That control our lives
This is what the system does time after time
Through media and government it says it preaches good values
Setting itself up more righteous than me and you
Yet it allows and promotes war, violence death and fear
And you don't need to look hard to see the greed and corruptions clear
The system that is so advanced sees people living rough on the streets
Allows so many abuses like people trafficking
It does nothing to address sexual abuses in the church
That's because what happens in government is worse
And it's all covered up by those ruling over us
And these are the people we are supposed look up to and respect.
That's why an awakened and conscious mind
Sees the truth after years of being blind to the systems lies
It breaks away and finds the purity in heart and soul
Finds themselves a place where they cannot be controlled
They reconnect with with love
And promote kindness, compassion and peace
And offer a hand to those down on their knees
An awakened mind understand all truth
Understand that being spiritual means being an authentic you
And living a life of goodness not defined by rules
Because it has to come from within that's unique to you
We were given free will to choose how we should live
Defining our own morals and our own ethics
Not adopting those of others
That may not apply to us
In ourselves our consciousness we must trust
For we're connected to the source
Through a direct line
And this is where we will find answers
Residing in the light of true reality
Not manifesting in the systems illusory.
