Lets Mind Our Minds

My frustration compresses into carbon compound Human Detachment, its running rampant Life is a commodity with stock thats crashing Passing fashion devalued souls, half of whole Where'd we go? Where are the human sides we were? It all gets blurred-all seen through squinted eyes Optic lies, Audio Distorted through News channel depiction- Vicious fiction...all compiles to sicken our perceptions Divided we fall, and now we're falling fast Swept up in prejudice we cant get past Drawing lines and splitting up sides Civil unrest at the behest of Masterminds Sheep are herded, sorted, and slaughtered Only after shearing their woolen pelts Morality melts as the broadcasts herd us Castes hurt us....rich dad, poor dad, no dad No man stands tall enough to scream revolution The cruelest pollution ...is the watering down of minds

Steve this is amazing. A well thought out commentary on the state of the world. In college I had a teacher that would play devil's advocate. She didn't care what stance you took as long as you could defend it. Its so much easier to join the muted herd. Excellent. Laurie
