The Ignorance of Man

Location

As if preaching to the souls of man just wishing they'd understand

You people don't know anything!

You don't know what it's like to be labeled as a rapist,

A murderer,

A baby stabber,

You don't understand that the screams in my head are not of the dead

But the words of man

You will never understand 

In the eyes of this man

Who has seen a tale 

But this is real 

The deal will kill

Swallow pills to ease the sorrow

You will never know what I know

Because I know what it's like to be ADD with a mom thats bipolar

That only seems to be happy when she's rolling seams in fabric

On a sewing machine

Her level of sanity has given me humanity

She loves me

Yet under gods name

Sisters and brothers

She's crazy and I'm judged

But given hugs as if it were curse

Who died and gave you the beat?

Who made you MC of the galaxy?

Splurge us with holy water

And say it to be the devil's work

You know satin as well as I know God

Neither of us have seen either 

Yet you pray away casualty

And when it fails you forsake Christianity 

Now please restate the definition of insanity

Think you can handle me 

We are the people

We are not rebels 

Though we remain mentally unstable

You aren't able to understand

Nor do you care too

Suicide is evident

You're facing a man who many days attempted

And dreamt it

You know its bad when his mom can relate too it
