Can You Imagine...
.. If we realized the collective hive mind is what works
If the pions walked out and refused to work
Can you imagine all the nurses just refusing to go
Sighing back at the smoke as they burn their oaths
If no one manned the beds that demand the presence of hands
Then the billionaires that starve them would be able to understand
How can ones discontent fall upon those of the land
It stirs within their house, yet it is up to you to take a stand
And all of your kin
But who wants to be the leader against the man
Who will follow...
If the pions walked out and refused to work
Can you imagine all the nurses just refusing to go
Sighing back at the smoke as they burn their oaths
If no one manned the beds that demand the presence of hands
Then the billionaires that starve them would be able to understand
How can ones discontent fall upon those of the land
It stirs within their house, yet it is up to you to take a stand
And all of your kin
But who wants to be the leader against the man
Who will follow...

Following the blind
There's a hint of desperation
Clinging in the air
Times are hard and
Hope is rare
Following the blind
Has never been my choice
Now I face the day
Without a voice
God, bring your judgement
Swift and quick
For I fear our direction
Is making me sick
Clinging in the air
Times are hard and
Hope is rare
Following the blind
Has never been my choice
Now I face the day
Without a voice
God, bring your judgement
Swift and quick
For I fear our direction
Is making me sick

Empty...
Empty can be very filling...not many notice though...
Too busy scratching the itches...
they're meant to distract us, you know?
It's all a part of the master plan...to keep us under the thumb…
it woudn’t do to lose control...and let us go our way…
they’re already paranoid...lest we go astray
The Preachers and Politicians...are selling their brand of bull
down at the corner Supermart...their parking lot is full...

Protecting My Energy
Shields up not allowing
these demons to pass through
they don't just want me
they want you too
we must protect the power within
so these dark entities cannot come in
All acts of negativity banished from thee
Seeking protection and sounding
my alarm may my body transform,
my mind to balance and my
spirit be safe from harm
My Aura is felt by those around I
Must stay strong above ground to block
All impurities as I continued to vibrate
On a higher frequency I allow my ancestors to guide me and be my security
...

The Bleedest
I’m just another slave with
dreams of being
free
And you can try to stop
it but you’re going
to fail
Power is getting
everyone to
think what
you think
Then you’ve
got to ask:
what made
you think in
the first
place?
And now I have
power over
all of
you
dreams of being
free
And you can try to stop
it but you’re going
to fail
Power is getting
everyone to
think what
you think
Then you’ve
got to ask:
what made
you think in
the first
place?
And now I have
power over
all of
you

TRUTH OF SIGHT
In order for one to accept their flaws and imperfections one must first have understanding of thyself as an individual, for as in life there will be situations and mistakes and bad decisions along the way that will have you questioning yourself. Yet you seek your answers in places and things and people's who really, don't have any idea of what you truly seek nor care about you. Yet some pretend to care about your well being as you chose, to go that route seeking in the wrong kind of places when one should look within oneself for the answers one seek. For there is gonna come a time when you...

I'm still Learning how to work
with the energy of the planet
so it can work for me and not against me
I accept the challenge to create Harmony and to create balance to thrive and nurture myself giving time for my spirit to settle
So I can have the clarity like never before
My third eye is opening up
more and more truth and
knowledge has to stay stored
Sometimes I'm overlooked like an eclipse by things that are happening around me
It's not the fear that grips it's heightened
Sense had to go before the ancestors to repent gentle...

BE MINDFUL BE CAREFUL
Through this cycle known as life we you me us no matter how you put it down upon paper by a pen, will say something out of anger and frustration towards someone who we are suppose to love and honor and respect. For thy say that through time and patience, we are force to learn what is meant by understanding and compassion. For our words have a power all of there own, whether you want to believe it or not for we can manipulate ourselves into seeing, things our way or we can control our own thoughts to manifest our deepest thoughts and bring it into life. For our words can change how another...
