Couldn't Hide It From Me


"Take your hand and spread the olive oil in shape of a cross, brainwashing compilations of communities lost, propaganda ran rampant through the streets, while gentrification just takes away a place to sleep, oh the vagrant families, gunshots taking lives like a thief, you wouldn't believe how many people here could die in a week, they couldn't hide it from me, Uncle Sam didn't care, dogmatic appearance, indoctrination everywhere, televised lies and obloquy envelope the nation, in the hour of apocalypse, society's changing, and I refused to stand here waiting on another to come, like I missed the last bus in a hurry for prom, I think its time for us to open up our eyes, bureaucracy's skewed, and hoping you don't see the lies"

It's not about me. It's not about you. It's all about God. Learning to be swift to hear and slow to speak. Traveling is a passion of mine. Still learning to be that change. Consider me a work in progress.
