Beyond Step One


Here I am, wondering what I shall portray,

what if I have the mind to speak yet hasn't the leverage to say?

It has come down to the question of the inevitable,

taken up by the mindless self-indulgence.

Opinions are so misguided,

not many have the means to all.

It is up to us as individuals to search for our similar minds, keeping ourselves colonized.

Although finding this notion completely nonsensical,

for thoughts to be compressed into this stereotypical analogy.

It is up to us to wonder, to take each into consideration.

I have grown tired of standing in the lean and lonely front line, 

with the lives of the narrow-mind.

Public opinion can be a weak tyrant,

compared with our private.

Never let ourselves be molded into notion,

we are not that sure after all.
