Reality Check

Reality check let’s look around us 
conspiracy theories mean feet ain’t grounded 
heads in clouds like white powder buzz 
black man screams white power just because
not what is but cliche what was 
Media feeding but when broke down ridiculous 
mankind allows belief in magical hat tricks
thinking freedom restricted attractive
commit to ideas only restricts oneself
mental control on thinking paths for elfs
religious political views grouping themselves
blinding to all else open minds stuck to shelves
Vice and lust guns drugs busts
Man’s a muppet blind and mugged
belief of secrecy swept under the rug
but respect their privacy we must
two ways shared complain cus one aint theirs
playing their minds corrupts them scares  
Political enemies allies or friends 
slaves to the systems straights and bends 
streets lined up with shady men 
play til deaths cycle rolls to the naive next gen
they call it suffer but paradise blends
subjective perspective made enemies 
opinions disrespected paranoia breeds 
call it the jungle but wouldn’t live in the jungle
work 5 days 2 weekends
rest and socialise purchase items 
only species this applies 
living inside just enough to get by
side by side we borrow we buy 
man we ain’t victims when there ain’t a medical absence 
law and justice helps our actions 
abandon this stuff the way of victims acting dumb 
historically war lose you life 
injustice found when there is no rights 
the top level wealthy increasingly greedy 
still the bottom level get gifted basic needing 
so comfortable their overbreeding 
more they need put hands out 
but if not filled instant grieving 
we live in a society we don’t take responsibility for 
thinking us it’s responsible for wanting more
complaints of freebies proof mans a fool 
they ask they take they give bugger all
