White pearls have fallen
Red lipstick on wine glasses
Beauty is crying.
The world is spinning, out of control
Complete with arrogance and hate
Perfection is out of reach
How does one know limits?
One does not
How does one know one's self?
One always knows
How does one know another?
Knowledge of experience
How does society know one?
It knows not
Behind these white walls are secrets.
Drifting souls wonder alone oblivious to each other.
Days so bleak they blend unclearly with one another.
Society may have your back one day.
And the next, kick you in the privates.
Society may have everyone against you.
Or have everyone with you.
Society may be everyone thinks.
But it's not what you think.
Society Intervenes
Society says
People listen
People think
Society intervenes with our acumen
Society says we have to think or be a certain way
People listen to what society says
oh how kind
I can finally speak my mind
but will you listen
or overlook my opinion
what is my voice?
The First Amendment
A constitutional right
or a consistent struggle
The story of a corrupt society
The alcoholic priest preaches about sobriety
Religion brainwashing people
Children sexually abused in the steeple
