Life`s Stage. (Part Two)

businessman, businesswoman, police person, scaler, baller, money maker 
welfare taker it`s your roll, your number, your calling, what is expected of you,
by looking at you they know your race, by looking at your face they know who, 
what, and where you will be,
your on life's stage your the puppet life's the master ....controlling a fool .
too caught up in the game and you can`t even see.
money is power, keep up with the Jones`s represent your race know your roll it`s 
what they want you to be uptight, stressed, in debt and a step behind,
 look at you, what happen to the kid and your dreams your hopes.... now you live 
the way you said you would`t ....a rat in a rat race,
 then it was all about the fun , now it`s CD, DVD, CD ROM home intercom, iPod  
my space on .com  YOU`VE GONE BLIND.
walking in circles on life`s stage ....one sad case.
if I granted you a wish it would be for wealth a hard body good looks  endless love  
and world peace,
if I could grant wishes I would give you the worst for what you want is what is 
wrong with the world today,
you want what you can`t have yet you have the power to change and don`t, you  
want to live only when you face the desist .
living on life's stage and losing your way.
look in the mirror look inside for the child you lost the fillings you numbed  the 
smile you said goodbye to,
forgive the unforgivable, let go of what you`ve been holding on to, watch the 
children grow smell the roses, listen to the rain turn the page,
after all it dose not have to be life`s stage.
