Lost In Translation

 
My issue with religion exists in its limitation
In the divisive traits, and sit-ins with litigation
A grim manipulation and scripture assimilation
That's fitted to a decision with criminal implication..
Why can't I say that in English?
I'll keep carrying blame until the flames are extinguished
Still trying to translate a visual language
While dying to stand straight with minimal anguish
And I feel like I'm failing.. I get so angry
That I can't even think straight, and feel it derailing..
Paling in comparison, America's ailing
Daily, it's disparaging, we're barely aware and
We can't find the clarity to carry it there..
Issues with the government lie in the corruption
Lies and distrust, disguising and abductions
Time to discuss, up-rise and interrupt it
Righting an injustice, time to listen up..
Both are used to gain power and influence..
Misconstrued prowess, cowardice disproven
Time to balance out from malice and misuse
Palaces in ruins, now our towers have been through it
How can I reach you..? Why would you care?
It gets lost in translation in time of despair
Tell me, how can I reach you..?
Why would you care?
