Joshua Rawls Poet I do not know?

Society In America

If I could explain it all i would
but every time i try im just misunderstood.
it seems my complications are obvious to me, 
at the same time i wonder how this could be.
People seem to ignore the truth and distant themselves 
In a fake world they call reality with smothered wealth.
But the one thing people neglect to mention, 
Is how there is all this unknown tension.
If this reality you call life is "just the way it is"
Why do you have to take so much away from kids?
Their minds are fresh and openly harmless.
But still you teach them your ******** and disarm us.
Society molded you, now you're complete.
Open minded was nothing more than a simple deplete.
Take away your freedom and all your own thought.
This is what we call America, you've been taught.
If you think society is great, it might be a good idea to stop or wait.
Because what you've been taught is nothing more than a simple fate.
I could go on and on but it wont do any good. 
Because after all, society has always completely misunderstood.
