Truth

It’s hard to see the truth nowadays
When the media has our vison blurred
The big picture obscured
By a misleading haze
Leaving us in a unquestioning daze
Working mindlessly like a slave
Just so the bills can get paid
We walk around numb
To what’s really going on
Hearing only the tune
The lyrics we’re meant to hear
On repetitive brainwashing songs
Stuck on a loop
Got us hangin by the hoop
Strung up by our enemies
Who are really our so called saviors
In camouflage concealed
Denial we feel
When confronted
Because our eyes are still unopened
You see but you don’t see
Still stuck under the sleep
The sleep projected in the scenes
That hypnotize us into obedient beings
Through that hollow color filled screen
Keeping us from knowledge
From truth
Poisoning our youth
Into biased views
To see this world we live in
In colorblind hues
Ignorant of the real issues
Happening here in our very own home
Shootings and defamation
Of a culture and a nation
Once strong and united
But torn apart from the inside
Against ourselves we are fighting
Riot fires in the dark bein lighted
To start a revolution
Time for us to make our contribution
To fight against the system we’ve been usin’
The system that’s been abusin’
Taking our souls as payment
For a paper called the constitution
Taking lives for unjust justice
A world I refuse to live in
Where my fellow people are kept in mental prisons
That keep them under so to be contained
Portrayed as imbeciles
Unable to reach their full potential
Forever locked within their brains
Under the influence that keeps them insane
And the population contained
Restrained
No longer will I live in a world encaged
It’s time to free the minds and point the blame
For justice to be served
Balance restored
It’s time for a change
