PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

DON'T LET THE SYSTEM

DUMB YOU  DOWN

EDUCATE YOURSELF

MAKE IT YOUR MISSION

TO DENOUNCE

LIES THAT HAVE BEEN  DEALT

TRY TO ENVISION

YOU CAN BOUNCE

BACK TO  TRUTH YOU'VE FELT

WHERE DO YOU FIND

AN OPEN MIND

THAT SEES ALL SIDES

AND THEN DECIDES

TOO MANY CLOSED

WHO ARE OPPOSED

TO ALL OF THOSE

THAT'S  HOW IT GOES

SHADOWS AND ECHOES

HOW  DO YOU COMPARE

SEE THEM OR HEAR THEM

YOU KNOW THAT THEY'RE THERE

A SHADOW OF A DOUBT

MAY ECHO IN YOUR WORDS

AN UNSEEN SHADOW

THAT IS CLEARLY HEARD

MEMORIES ECHO

SOMETIMES HEARD AND SEEN

SHADOWS MEMENTOS

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THERE WAS ONE TRUTH

BUT NOW SO MANY SAY

WHOSE TRUTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

THAT CAUSES SOME DISMAY

HOW CAN THERE BE SO MANY TRUTHS

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S LIES

SOMETIMES I THINK OH WHAT'S THE USE

CONFUSION'S ON THE RISE

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO BE YOURSELF

OR DO YOU JUST REFLECT

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO SEE

AND DO WHAT THEY EXPECT

ELIMINATE CORRUPTION

WE'LL BE MUCH BETTER OFF

IT CAUSES SELF DESTRUCTION

OF ALTRUISTIC STUFF

WE NEED A RECONSTRUCTION

BECAUSE ENOUGH'S ENOUGH

DO YOU FIND YOURSELF PRESENT

AND INTO THE NOW

ARE YOU LOST IN THE PAST

AND WONDERING HOW

YOU FIND YOURSELF THERE

WHILE YOU'RE HERE AND NOW

MISSING THIS MOMENT

IT HAPPENS SOMEHOW

TRY TO BE 

CONSCIOUSLY

PRESENT

HERE AND NOW

IN THIS SCHOOL OF LIFE

TOO MANY FAIL

TO CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT

 IT'S SUCH A SAD TALE

WHEN THEY DO BAD THINGS

AND CAUSE SO MUCH HARM

THE PAIN THAT IT BRINGS

SHOULD CAUSE US ALARM

THEY LACK EMPATHY

THEIR MORALS ARE GONE

IT'S SUCH A PITY

THAT THEY CARRY ON

DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF PURPOSE

OR DO YOU FEEL WORTHLESS

DO YOU OWN WHAT YOU FEEL

DOES IT EVEN SEEM  REAL

ARE YOU LIVING OR SURVIVING

ARE YOU JUST OK OR THRIVING

ARE YOU SATISFIED OR NOT

DO YOU GIVE IT ALL YOU'VE GOT

DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR

OR IS THAT JUST A RUMOR
