Uncomfortable Pt 2

Uncomfortable pt.2

Let me take a moment 
to tell you what exactly this is and 
what exactly this isn't. 
This here is not your regularly scheduled program 
or a piece without substance.

This here is my fingers working 
on auto to bring you what the spirit inside wishes to speak, 
and it generally is noteworthy,
something to keep in memory
when you're 
looking at the world 
questioning your reality and 
all of its masked frailties, 
but 

we aren't 
really that weak 
are we?

We are blessed daily 
given three hundred and 
sixty-five to be exact,
to get it right,
Year after year,
Yet conformity to rules that 
make little to no sense 
unless I just don't understand the 
riddle in which we exist 
that seems to rule 
over the natural rights 
Universally given to 
you and me. 

This can't be real, 
this life that we live, 
where superiority is based on 
financial class and 
the color of your sin 
I mean skin, 
I mean political beliefs 
or faith and religion, 
attacking philosophies 
and theories 
based on beliefs of 
who's right.

I say 
none of us, 
for nothings 
truly been proven. 
Especially when 
how many instances 
scientific proof has been 
disproven.

 Look at history and its 
breaking down of the human
through greed and 
consuming, 
its like 
someone put something 
in the water. 

Don't drink from the tap 
no more 
or else you may suffer 
side effects like 
you were roofied and 
mind raped foolishly 
over and over again. 

As the embers of 
human sickness rises 
from the flames of life, 
a sadness of kinds 
floods the eyes 
and the minds 
of those few who 
see the truth as it is 
those few whom 
still hold their own 
hearts minds and souls, 

those few whom 
haven't allowed 
another to 
control the flow of 
what they think 
or how they move 
or even the 
things that 
they choose to do.

What kind of control 
is being held over you?
go ahead and 
ask yourself this question
If this message was 
uncomfortably directed 
towards you.
