Enlightened Minds: The Past, The Present, The Future
Enlightened Minds of The Past
News is no longer news
Empty storage of big name who's
Who's wearing this
Who's dating what
Who did who just kiss
Who wore it best doing that strut
No one cares about You
Or Him, Her, or Us
You'd be on the news if you were a Who
who cares about the homicide on the bus
The Idols we all need
The minds of such like Socrates
Kim Kardashian's advice you need not heed
Do you even know the true beauty of a tree
Nature is our GrandMother
Media our Friend
I wonder if we'll ever think like The Past again
Enlightened Minds of the Present
Respect your Elders
You forgot your Manners
Behind your iPhone this young generation takes shelter
Times have changed I'm not dressing like a whore
Oh my God grandpa you're such a bore
Who cares about some dumb old war
I don't care about this country you fought for
I have someplace to be
And yes I do know the true beauty of a tree
I learned, I think, that we need it to breathe
Who cares about the seasons change
Or how the colors of the leaves get rearranged
If you die will you leave me some money in your will
No grandpa I dont want to know how many men you/ve killed
Enlightened Minds of The Future
No one knows me some are scared
I'm like the dark you don't know whats in there
I'm good and bad all in one
I can bring chaos or I can bring fun
Or better yet I can do both instead of one
The world is changing and yes thats true
But who's to say what generation had it right, its not me or you
History is History and yes we ought to learn
But if we dwell on the past then we're sure to burn
Rome and Greece have fallen
Once great civilizations
But whose to say USA will never again be a great nation
The Future may be scary and yes that is true
But who better to embrace it with together than me, and you
