Something I feel I needed to get off my chest... I hope some people can relate...
There's a legion~of~deep thinkers who uphold the freedom~of~speech
Expressing what we've seen~in~our~dreams, hoping to lead~us~to~peace
The news asks us to read~it~and~weep, but I feel it's not-the-mission
I would rather be the opposition, speaking on my behalf instead of politicians
Who say they've got-the-wisdom, but leave their followers without a pot-to-piss-in
Our sleepless nation without a cot-to-slip-in, while they're getting caught-with-women
Who aren't their wives, yet say they are-the-victims, they teach~us~to~vote~for~'em
But these are leaders~with~no~morals who see~us~as~low~forms~of...
Human beings... What's the use-of-being a human-being that's labeled~feeble?
When we were raised to believe in the same dream that God made~us~equal?
When did the Strange~and~Evil become the name to the road-of-life?
Yet many of us know-this-flight has no destination, no hope-in-sight
I bet you didn't notice-,right? Don't feed me the lies~and~deceit hiding~beneath
The lines~that~you~preach of reaching dreams when I'm here dying~to~sleep!
I'm forced to find~it~in~me, try~it~and~see how much you feel-ignored
Letting people steal-the-source of our individuality without knowing what's still-in-store
