I really don't give

I live through your eyes

I told you before 

Answers need questions 

Views need opinions 

And opinions need challenging 

I have my own 

But that is not my game 

Im here to express your desires and pain 

To delve into your fantasy 

Or write your reality 

I want to force your tepid mind 

To form the ability to critically think 

To accept that its okay to make links 

To find some common uncommon ground

without interruption,

An incomplete expression

of a truth or delusion 

That you are allowed

To partake or dispute your reasons 

And to see another side 

That perhaps 

You weren't brave enough to explore 

Because you bought into

Your carefully constructed design 

Telling you that you are of no consequence 

And that your life is a thing to be governed 

Just as your thoughts with nothing

but opinions and listen carefully 

With no proof  except what a small group 

Agree what is science 

But they ruined that word 

When they told you studies show,

When they turned the dial up.in

Psuedo psychology 

And you don't even know who you want 

To be anymore

Because they took the guide ropes away

And made themselves gods

And twist you up.in knots 

And still you think the homeless guy 

Is a freak 

The poet who writes an emotional wreck

The thinker is the unthinking 

The ranter is uncaring 

The activist is unblinking 

Plotters deceiving 

Schemers undoing believing 

And I dont give any less than I can 

To explain to you why

divided we fell

United we stood 

But nothing matters as it should 

we don't see half of it 

And  we  don't give a shit if we could.

Whatever you think I'm always ready to rethink group think. How about you?

Love The Perspective

.

Spoken word hits home terrain - "And still you think the homeless guy/Is a freak" Okay, so yeah. And, "I want your tepid mind/To form the ability to critically think." Somebody help me get these arrows out of my brain. SS, you nailed it.
