Escape



We all use our mind as a form to escape

from the world around us

from what kids call "the bad thing"

 

We see things that not ever one catches

and our mind discards it

if it hurts

we sleep to forget and give our mind a rest from its constant business

escape is through these ideas

 

We escape with other substances as well:

Drugs, alcohol, medications

Anythig to escape our own realities

 

Anyperon can be this escapee

but it is hard to say that it is easiest to find these escapees in under developed countries

where people are being taking advantage of

since the beginning of "La Conquista"

To escape the harsh times and live till the better days come

 

We escape to stay sane

to indure the impossible

We all use our mind to escape the world around us
