We Are Why We Cannot Be
We are why we can never be
I do not think there are truths
Because there belong those who do not believe
No matter how serious or aloof
We are as open as we are limited to achieve
I think it’s unnatural what we do
We either follow or oppose and to appear neutral
I think we are nothing… both me and you
Or be something that is at best… a momentary natural
I want to choose a life I want to live
I cannot do that unless I have money
It’s the most ridiculous truth I believe I’m to see
Because that is how the world lives by contemporary
Do you not wonder why we are divided?
Or do you wonder why we just couldn’t come together?
Why not wonder on differences preferred?
Or why we pretend to want to make the world better?
I think there are truths… until we change
And no matter how we absolve we are unable to evolve
This nuance in truths has only but remain
Why we as humans are only as open and as limited as we cause
……………..
