True Freedom

Tue, 04/16/2019 - 05:47 -- Lem

It's awful, this thought that brought it up keeps on coming.
The laws, the media, the repeating cycle of what's new.
It's causing poverty, and honestly, we are consciously lost.
Lost in what most see as a necessity for successfully abiding the cause.
It ain't bad, but there are limits to what one is free to do.
Putting others at a stage where they can't make it, I don't blame them.
Pains a lot of those who chose to get into the trap.
World leaders separating my people between lies.
The fact that they have words and papers to follow by the source is a joke.
They just have power over people who don't see the real freedom, imagine the power they ain't giving if they didn't listen to their speeches.
Raiding over lands with resources, claiming it's their property
Military force gunning into countries for what they call peace and protection.
When the opposite side ain't got a clue for the intentions.

It doesn't matter what you do or where you go,
The eyes that are watching will always hang low
Like 5-0 nowadays, some righteous yet still crooks
Can you understand my view of authorities?
With the money and healthcare rising, it's almost like they're the ones in control of the 'illegal' drugs spreading across the world.
Probably true that they giving cancer to patients who didn't make it.
The cause of their death is billed as well, now ain't that crazy? But it pays them.
Leading their own destruction with people leaving to spread the hatred.
Papers and words with badges and uniforms.
Weapons kept tuck in public for public safety, it sucks but they ain't protecting or saving.
They just investigating after crimes while supplies in the back scenes stay classified.
Just gives them a gun for power over most who won't fight back.
It's sad these crooks got into hook ups because money talks.
To come into understanding that you have to climb the ladder of business
Now explain to me why the government alone is the only source that is allowed to come into your privacy and take all your property.
Using police force as a barrier for their carriers
To spread various amounts of drugs in other areas.
After promises of having successfully living privileges.
Just miss a couple bills and you'll learn the meaning of reality.
