Life As I See It
What are we doing? Shutting off the world like
a switch! Becoming faceless, tasteless, hopeless?
We cloud our minds with different kinds of topics.
From TV shows to cell phone woes, which celebrity
is cheating, and the wife already knows!
We close our ears and cover our eyes, to the
truth, as we choose our lies.
Humans are dying and no one cares, Lest the
human was wealthy and left some heirs.
Forced to live in fear? Or, did we choose it?
Are we fighting for our freedom or fighting to
lose it? Surrendering ourselves more and more each
day, to GREED, (we call it NEED), and ignorance.
We create our bliss, oasis, paradise, and we are okay.
Always still, judging others, pointing fingers,
keeping tabs, and taking notes.
BLAMING! BLAMING! BLAMING! Anyone but ourselves!!
Drugging our children, new disease, Amazing Cure-All!
For What? What is right? What is left?
Sadness, heartache, pain, isolation...
Just like we planned.
We give our souls to those who intend to break us.
They want to take us and make us into clones,
Turn us to stone, steal our uniqueness, and
mark our bodies in the depth of our weakness.
We forgot on our own that HE was here, what WE
did, but still we hid, behind that promise, and
continued to sin, continued to lust, to use and
abuse. We made excuses and excuses for our excuses.
What is left? What is right?
When we look deep inside, we come to find and
realize, our hearts don't lie.
If we try too hard to rely on the mind, we will
surely become lost and die, our souls will remain
hollow...
But if we learn to be patient... and...listen
to our hearts, in time, our souls will
follow...
