Now What Are We Going To Do?

Society says that what we do is wrong Their thoughts intermingle subconsciously in our minds Who’s to say what is wrong and what is right? The pills dairy doe-boy in the white collar preaches conservative ways to the Americans Aren’t we as Americans have such rights to freedom and to choose our own lives? If life was a book… Aren’t we the authors? To do, to see, to love as we please To whom we choose as our true mate Who has the grounds to discriminate? Would every chapter be of hate? Of different generations blaming those under the slate And before their six feet decent They beg for forgiveness of which they repent Why should I look like you? Smell like you Think like you Be like you If we were all alike… The same word repeated over and over again What word would that be? Ignorance… ignorance What’s an open mind with segregated thoughts? Filtering out what society says is proper to our youth The youth holds innocence Blind of color, sex, and hate Why feed them the propositions of those under the slate Is the ultimate goal of life to have money? Does money equal happiness? Yes it feeds our mouths but… You can’t but love, your intelligence, or the power to control your own life Cali-greens feed your soul Dead-presidents feeds your Power The power to control those under you Your entertainment… Is what the media shows You’re mesmerized by the action of the unfortunate People killing each other over things you take for granted While you watch you read what’s in the next chapter Time to pity Now that you have been fed Your time is coming… Start forgiving… So you can reach your holy ground Say that you were wrong Blame those who fed you You had all the power But not enough To stand up For what you thought was right Is this our destiny? I don’t know? Look in the prelude of your life…

this is a all true statment I have to agree with to a degree a lot of people are drones thinking alike being told what is wrong and write its a true statement. a little long and i mean that as no insult for i think its great but people have way to short attention spans once is a shame you speak with great power keep writting great work
