Notes About The Poem

how i see things through the oceans of my eyes salt 

The Real Deal Counts In Numbers

Sleepwalking existence 
Lost under the act of humanity 
a transparent veil whispers through
creeping battle for middle earth has begun

Coldly so much in-differences plays out
shape-shifting this world's virtue 
Infected with so many parasites filled with hate 
Greed begins manufacturing rats of war 

Getting rich destroying life's 
even nature into the bargain bucket
Millions are starving 
Human values let's count the cost

Many raped and tortured on a daily basis 
hospitals, schools and places of worship destroyed 
weddings and funerals bombed 
come on lets be frank about subject matter

Has man become so blind stupid 
uncaring beings against creations flowers
Has history not learned us anything 
Move out of this blind spot 

The cold cut of steel awakens 
aggression is a direct violation of world law
Which is held within rights 
not to be ignored council of the good living folk 

The same seed of elite bodies
holding purse strings correct 
Control a conscious mind makes choices under values 
which side of the fence they sit morals

Beast's of this planet destroying animals 
you know no grounds for peace 
a burial right against good living souls
Rights are being diluted in front of our eyes 

Bats from hell looking down your nose 
At us whom you consider slaves
Exploiting our worth 
Decreased minimum set wage 

As the standard of living becomes poorer
Falling into a backward spiral 
position of truth becomes a society 
filled with dirty underhanded secret deeds 

Nerve to expose highlights 
reveal behind an optic scene
