Shadow Of Doubt
Biased figures manipulate opportunities
Power has reigned since the dawn of time
Spitting rhetoric laced with dry ambiguities
False sincerity acted out in full pantomime
Dreams are aborted before even catching breath
Harsh reality of being worked and taxed to death
Programmed from a young age to conform
Most are burned out before reaching thirty
Riding out the calm straight into a shitstorm
Only way to quit the lie is going cold turkey
Hope is the idea that peace and love will win out
While living in a world built on a shadow of doubt

Late night musing. Just thinking out loud. Society is frustrating sometimes, just like the powers that be. Appreciate you.

Like a shell game, and by the time we figure it out we're too old, or dead.

People don't want to believe it or listen.
Hence why they end up with seemingly unhinged people ranting about it, they're sick of pointing out the inconsistencies and being seen as crazy.

Society is as times as frustrating at world leaders. In society you can sift through some of the people you meet. You may find a good one from time to time. Politicians on the other hand, are ALL sneaks, liars and scumbags. Great poem and awesome in detail & delivery.
