The Way of Living

What has been done will be done What will happen has already manifested, What you know is part of the plan, What you are and who you are, Is an invention by perception, Designed for you as a representation, What you see is what you do, What you do is what your saw, The evolution of man, the change of ideologies and conception of mankind, We are both an genetic and psychological experiment an idea representing society and its way of living, every idea put in place, we suffer for .... We die for... We fight for.... This is what we learn from these ideas, Both political and religious, people lost their lives for those words that have no meaning, Those empty words, those lies that our people die for and its for what? Is our lives that meaningless? For mass corporation to destroy us, For Leaders to deceive us, From everything we know, Its what we thought we knew, Everything my people fought for, To everything people die for, Wars, Civil wars, gang fights To standing up for your rights, We die..... Die for words.... Names...... Ideas....... And its all for what? Survival of the fittest? Is it natural selection? No, no, no This can't be the human way, The food chain We evolved from this, or so we think, We are a step forward from tapping to the animalistic form we evolved from, Cause its all in the mind, We taught how to act, walk, sit, stand, What to like, dress, eat All of these are rules to follow in ones religious or cultural Believes, Set by those bodies to govern society, Shape the human mind, From animalistic to domestic, From free minded to a mind governed by laws, morals created by people Ideas passed down from centuries And honoured by people, We call these traditions, How creative is the human way of living, And its all for survival, No its all by design, testing how far the human mind can go How far has the mind traveled? How far has it been shaped? We learn from wars, We learn from suffering, Who is the teacher? Is it the government or god Is it the same thing or just a change in manuscripts, how its presented in society? Those two bodies have ruled us for as long as we can imagine, Ruled by a body of people representing a order of power, a social need in what we call society, A set of order to rule over man Is this all that we exist for? A test for the mightiest people to play on An idea of being great than the others, A self created ego to lead others! And we follow, follow figures that represent social dominance, the predators of the jungle, Hell no!
