Shout Out Einstein

2/1/23

Shout out to Einstein
How has it not already been a sign of the times?
What a tragedy the way that Christ died
Too real it's lifesize
To this day we got all these wise guys
Full of white lies
Critically endangered species, while humans live with nine lives
Bodies of water becoming quite dry
Or turning into a high tide
Products on a continual price rise
Looking up at the night sky
What good it did for me being a nice guy
Only to be stabbed in the back by knives
Over five times
Experienced firsthand and seen through my eyes
The corrupt continue to hide crimes
Controlling public knowledge as they disguise finds
So out of the loop as time flies

I'll admit
Across all continents
People want peace and quiet or acknowledgement
Actions come with consequence
Or the opposite

I'm always on intoxicants
Yet to permanently call it quits
Remaining off the 
Took y'all long enough, do you got the pic?

Sick of hearing it, you're too soft
I don't want what you want
In my mind more important matters do haunt

Grew up a poor kid
I'm more concerned with our origin
Than taking sides with all these opposing forces

I search for evidence on Aliens
Instead of just studying *****sapiens
They're upset by my actions, but I can't relate to them

I will do my best to study the unknown
Since they deny it all when so much is shown
Constantly they just judge and drone

So quick to paint pictures
Toxic like the fumes of paint thinner
The same as taking one too many painkillers

Not even making similar pay figures
Picking fights with grape pickers
Still it's the same strictures

Ever noticed not a lot has changed since man inhabited earth. Still backstabbing with a smile.

I have taken notice. Like it or not, hard to say if it will ever stop. I suppose we can impact it or perhaps put an end to such problems in our own lives.
