Robot

The lonely man sits by the tree
The tree is happy to meet the sun
The sun smiles on my black skin
My black skin doesn't mean I'm dumb 
Dumb as the young rock 
That flows threw the water 
The water never changes just moves in order 
We move in order like robots 
Awake work sleep 
Fix the government plate first 
Then let the slave eat 
Day in and day out our minds become blank 
No time to think 
No time to blink 
We are in the matrix of a robot dream
How do you awake and fly off faith? 
Delete the word can't 
Add the word will
Delete the word peace 
And add the word kill
Delete the inner beast 
And everyone would be sheep 
But who keeps the balance when everyone is asleep
