Why Is It

12/13/20 "Why Is It?" Times of crisis The cause of our own destruction, and being lifeless Is more complex than science Sometimes it involves an appliance Sometimes it's considered sacrifices Often from violence Or our own devices Quickly will pay the price quick And might just die if You never try to fight it An ongoing virus Having an impact on the sinus With me, don't try to get righteous Or pious I'm not one sided Or biased I remain silent Holding a trident On an island Among redwood giants No matter the climate I spied it And saw with my eye this There's too many tyrants Folks kept calling them "your highness" Such B.S., never once did I buy it Always remained quiet Became friends with pirates Such knowledge and experience is priceless Turning on the light switch Not so blinded or simple minded Gaining mileage Shining like a diamond And still enlightened Paying no mind or trying to fight the system We've no proof, of if extra-terrestrial life visits Why is it? It's nice and vivid The world can be quite wicked At times I find it twisted You don't have to agree, just don't be blind to it Why kid? Don't try to fib Living a lie, why live it? Often saw the back of my eyelids Getting so high, I'm lifted Mixing alcohol with it, if it already didn't It's about to hit quick Was or wasn't predicted The same can be said for it being scripted Spirits risen Despite so much division A lot of content is encrypted Continuing the expedition With ambition As was written The truth not fiction Taking out all competition Remaining driven Nearby mechanisms And organisms Made my decision Many schisms Everyone has opinions Did or didn't involve criticism In and out of hell's kitchen Often I've been conflicted I don't just sip it I dive in it Wasn't always able to fit in Either I did, or I didn't I'm different I listen Keep my hand hidden Using wisdom And vision To take care of business From the start to the finish Yet I'm far too dependent on substances and liquids It's really sad, I know isn't it (it is)
