You say, "Take everything you are and make it like me if you want to be free" Just look around to see The pressing eyes surrounding a distressed family still unheard The lack of sound is haunting Still you stare them away as they close their blinds to avoid the dismay Internal patterns repeat the cycle Innate hatred, caught in denial Inherent hatred
3.
Sometimes it's all we know There's a convenience store on every corner Serving as a helping hand to feed the mourners In this designed routine do I feel at home? or will I still have nothing to show? In my times of need You try to Motivate me with a warmth inside But I still question where my soul resides And I tell myself "I'd build it all If I had the time" But down the block, I'm standing in line Led by apathy that has me trapped Fed by the lies that I can't get past Can't occupy our minds To stop the rise Still I rise

The desperate and afraid Troubled and grave Seek refuge, only to find hatred They feel a common pain, Now treated as society's bane Misled devotions True delusions of reality Abused and confused The malleable minds of the youth Their innocence slain Hopeless and vain Seek solace, but raised to spread violence They believed the lies A lack of value for human lives. Where is your compassion? Desolate visions of control instilled through the terror of misguided fools But we live with reasons, not by rules We are vulnerable and exposed Accepting all who are opposed. They're humans Not numbers With names With faces With families With voices

Abstract Eye 02:03
Do I learn to obey? Refuse my thoughts And bite my tongue Can I keep my mouth shut? Ridiculed for differences, Afraid of inconsistency, Diminishing progression As we keep passing time With ironic expressions Diminishing progression Resolving strife through Vocal suppression Banish new thoughts To the back of your mind And deny any variation. Shallow minds conform Because they always say, "Great minds think alike." Tell me that doesn't justify Diversity becoming nullified. Shallow minds conform As reality distorts So am I alone with this abstract eye? Is the common thought is what's truly inspired? I want to be wise outside of my own world.

It's the human effort that fills us all with pride It's a struggle to survive but it's what keeps you on high Proclaiming first what you don't believe Convincing others what they should perceive The blind leading the blind in a community meant to keep an open mind Further the divide as you only see your side Denouncing faith as you preach your own agenda Force feeding the world with more entitled propaganda You're no better than them Your methods make you no better than them It's a hostile world full of injustice still you focus on a privileged pain No better than them It's a vicious cycle full of selfishness abuse the power as you try to reign No better than them
