life

 my thoughts ring more like a story told in 3rd person about a character I once knew
we can't still all be speaking the same languages
cause I don't know that anyone understands each other like they're supposed to
be able to preach to teachers and teach to preachers
aren't we all still able to learn something from one another
and politicians wrote in the wrong context, It's sad that they couldn't
appreciate your childhood the way they appreciated their own
if and when you throw in the towel, make sure it's not 100 percent cotton
substance is a terrible thing to waste, and so much easier to control
if ignorance is bliss, is naivety paradise?
Paradise Lost me
young and ruthless I picked a book with no pictures, but with stories
Large and thick, and full of clever truths like the one my mind writes
Aesop's fables tell of false tales that the wise considered knowledge
It's funny how we must seek truth instead of having it taught to us
Must we learn on our own the things most valuable to our lives
Teachers and preachers don't seem to be on the same page anymore
And the politicians must not know that
the root of all evil & the falseness aren't necessarily playing for the same team
Why does everyone hate the Lakers?
What's truth to a world that doesn't care for it?
I mean the root of all evil's laws are vetoed by no man
We love like children who shoot at nightmares and scream at nightime
But as we grow older our nightmares become dreams, the hues in
black and white, have grown color and bled together like scratched knees and
dragons, pierced sides and torn backs
yet our youth speak a language the past generation
does not seem to know the meaning of
Toy Story speaks to 2 different crowds and we see the sadness
while my little brother laughs at the humor
I know whether or not Abraham Lincoln knew when he would die
but he fought for a justice few thought we would see
with a healthy body and cancerous faith, I see not
the cards in your hand, nor those of the man next to you
but we are here, living and breathing
thinking and feeling
same moon and stars
do you see then what I see now?
I don't know that I still believe in people
but I believe in life
