Look Within

2/4/23 No ifs ands or maybes Daily I'm seeing hatred People still extremely racist Meanwhile food and materials being wasted I understand the messages these mummies meant Continually money spent Making matters worse, followed by a bloody event Too often the crooked win Always greedy they wouldn't give For a better outcome I had to look within Intelligence climbing, it feels good to live Rude manners, near endless slander With delusions of grandeur Many being pampered Over others they damper Yet so easily they scamper Like a backstabbing salamander For so many I provide help Yet why else do I just keep to myself Nearby an ice shelf Still struggling not always in nice health It's been troubling what life dealt My ancestors Had lesser Continually experienced bad weather At that rate they can't ever And shall never Since people always have tempers Often unable to understand better I'm able to withstand the pressure It almost got my hand severed Like a bird in the sky Get it done on the first try While using the third eye Soon to burn and die Evil out to let another curse fly Is there more to it, does the church lie? Materials fine and pure or crude and coarse Sad what people do for huge rewards It never saw the light of day or was covered in news reports I'm with you and by your side if you suffered much Can't just fix it all with a blunderbuss Nor expect any to be as just as us Drank some rye whiskey and smoked a double dutch Then an unbelievable amount of ground I covered such To get it done was rough had to be tough with guts Otherwise it took a different way and subtle touch It's a cycle, time has orchestrated Good and evil always existed, so what would happen if they correlated The same question remains if different methods were incorporated I see it clearly with or without a sober mind This got old and is so unkind Still humans on opposing sides Remaining bonafide I keep an open mind Near and far from the ocean side People need to be aware and notified Before the powers that be attempt to override Always out to keep folks confined Then they want a vote of mine? Yet others got thrown aside left with broken spines For the greed of money through spoken lies They say it all goes with time Girl please don't cry I got you, let's show them why It can be done if you approach it right
