Today

Untaught vocabulary seems to retard
our insanity multiplied by free speech
which becomes nothing more then
profanity to the public ear when not heard
through the committed

Outsourced, spun and sold to the masses
by the media who wish to entrance the common man
by offering us their opinions, sponsored by the upper classes,
to be scrutinized and critiqued as it was written to address the damned

Taking our intuition and using it against us
As we decide if we can rationalize 
a decent product of their contemplation
and accept or reject our perception of censored untruths

We have become to diluted in their fabricated world conditions
to think through it and stop the problem
and we remain blind to the realization we sought
maybe it's for the better we just except a fate we can't stop.

Well I have seen where that leads in the past
Rockefeller, Carnegie. held all the wealth amassed
they financed the government and paid the country's debt
while people worked 60 hrs to be homeless and eat from soup lines

Democracy has become a tool of big business 
where there company funds pay for the campaigns 
that get their candidate into office 
from the federal to the city and even the common levels

The money bought Government passes laws for corporations
who have the same rights as individuals and money counts as free speech
so to end corruption we must violate the corporations civil rights
and people  about deportation.
and if you work full time and are under paid you need assistance well then by word of the republican you are a leach feeding off the tax payer.
that whole dollar they may take to help the poor has you angry when they take half your money for state and federal government

There are many things I could say but I end here before the story leads to the rebirth of profiling AKA Racism
so if you are one to say "just let it be there is nothing to be done it's beyond me." I would respectfully call you out by way of your ethics code
God does not create cowards, fear comes from weakness which comes from yourself.

When I made that walk on a golden road
it was with a man in a velvet robe
he spoke of how life is a journey and always be bold
because fear will mislead you and you will be lost from me 
until you pull yourself back up and breathe in the life you gained from me

So if you say let it be you are lost and need to breath
What we need is those who say "let me see if I am through, is this something you can prove to me?
because we can not allow the world
to stifle are voices and ignore their lack of accountability
for how they have taught the police to protect me.

If I am wrong and stuck speaking of an impossible dream
then I am greatly saddened their a lump in my throat
because I thought these days were gone but it would seem
I'm not the only one who believes .
because even though we been lost in this sea
we now notice and we now scream "I Can't Breath."

we will catch our breath
then hate will catch its death
and we will be free
and by an honest Government we will be led. 

LET IT BE, NA MAKE THEM SEE.
