The Confusion of the World
I find myself between emotion and rationality
I do not care to search for love's reality
Yet at the end of the day I feel a bit reckless
Like my journey cannot end being selfless
For I seek something more than just feeling
The sake of a prayer is a bit appealing
But I shy away from religious healing
So I burst into flames while revealing
So I resist when instead I should shy away
From the reluctance that holds us this way
Cause when the tears roll down the side of my face
I don’t desire to understand why my heart has to race
Since the fear down inside could only implement
Although I couldn’t speak but to only resent
That I was raised to flourish and be intelligent
Yet the strength residing within was intermittent
Fluctuating at peaks and troughs just like waves
As others kept growing their destiny’s behaved
And as for I there is nothing worse than isolation
Left without the hope of a prospering aspiration
My mind's in a tangle without proper meditation
I'm boggled up yet facing stringent agitation
From an outside source that seeks to simply describe
The way a citizen can actually survive
Knowing of the pain and torture that we have to endure
Of the soldiers sent to death, fighting for obscene grandeur
To the differential perception of power in society
Just to decide which of the classes owned propriety
Over the way that the very people should be enslaved
Making them all animals to work and dig their own grave
But what is one to do when the world is all caving in
Nowhere to turn as veils are shrouding all the deception
