Knowing

You know that lump on the back of your

throat you get when you know that when

you drop her off it will be the last time

you will ever say goodbye, wishing it would

have been different but knowing it was

the same, tired of all the games being played,

believing they were a friend or even

more ignoring all the signs, just giving

her a little more time it will be different

but it never is even someone you may have

known for a

very long time so what is so fucking wrong

with this world today people dying

more each day it seems as if this generation

is not gonna save the world they are

all to damn lazy to even get a job instead

living day by day begging everyone for

money drugs food and a place to stay never

paying for bills to busy frying their brains

with perks only looking for thier next fix

trying to pull all those licks stealing

anything they can lift lying about

everything they did do or done while the

girls are all looking for thier next tricks

what is going on with the world it seems

as if hell has opened its doors letting

go all their thieves addicts and whores

it makes me wanna board up the windows

and bolt all the doors I beg you please

somebody let me off Ozzies crazy train

as it has left its station filled with the

masters of malicious manipulations

narcissist of every shape of persuasive

perverted persuasion the bottom feeders of

corrupted corporate so called leaders

I feel like I am spinning out of control

going round and round looking all around

nothing to see but the destruction of

humanity stop stop stop hold on dammit

stop turn down that stupid music before I

throw up, everybody shut the fuck up,

time out would you please be quiet so I

can talk. thank you, now wait, let me

gather my thoughts. When I was

just a kid back when I was ten in nineteen

hundred and seventy six things were so much easier to me

do you all not agree? I have so many

questions yet nobody answers them

I feel out of sync just a few moments

off did I fall into a new reality is everyone

on TV are they only actors acting in a play

why is it so hard to sleep are they

controlling our minds to see watching us

act like mental patients who are laughing

at us hysterically smiling like they just won

the lottery, who? You know the ones

In washington DC. Our leaders that

care less about you and me only interested

in contributing to controlling us for

the new world order with all the conspiracy

theories maybe they are now a reality

I don't know about you but I want to go

back in time to when I was a teen knowing

what I know now stop doing drugs

and drinking alcohol get better grades

then I did and run for congress or

even the presidency so I could lock

away every political anyone I see

than throw away the key makes the

country the real home of the free so I

 could end this nonsense and go back to my

youthful Innocence back to our two

parent families with brother sister

mom and dad instead of creating addiction

how about we all support curing it instead

eradicate all the race hate how about we

educate instead and why not instead of

starting world Wars we just knock on

their door and introduce ourselves by

shaking their hands becoming best

friends instead leave religion alone it's

okay to pray to anyone you want then

turn away from greed and lust and let peace

win for once and love let it all flow the

Way God intended from everyone and

that's all I got left to say

Except can I get

A amen now I am done.
