The Weight of our World

This is a world where we are free In a world of confusion We live under the weight of the sky Above the weight of the sea We roam this world in hope for truth But we find terror, dread, and sorrow This barren wasteland of an oasis Where we are free but not void of pain Some of us prefer to be different, but we are mostly the same Running through life thinking they know their purpose The one’s that are different try to search for the truth Some might find answers but can’t find proof This world so confusing, mysterious, and misunderstood We roam it and rarely acknowledge its existence The general populace is brainwashed by the commodities of our culture Fed with lies, mislead, punished Only to benefit the prosperous and lead to the demise of meager citizens We all have liberties and freedoms but are still completely restricted We are free, yes free But, what does that mean We don’t know everything We barely know nothing Free but trapped, consumed, and tricked Cursed by a world of hope and despair We find ourselves confused and dazed Still many hope, many pray The one answer is sought but will not be found All in wonder, but all together 　 We battle this world destroyed by a few Now we all struggle and must unite To come together to defeat the wrongs and banish the evils We must leave none behind and keep looking forward Change needs to be made, needs to be forced upon society A union of people to complete our odyssey Once fixed we will be truly free Free of corruption, disorder, and anger 　 When all is said and done and our lives are restored The weight of our world will be discovered to be a mere feather The ocean and sea reunited forming an astounding conjunction of phenomenons Their weight feeble compared to current times troubles With the social order cleaned up after the reunion of humanity The world can then start to be rebuild Civilization recreated, reconstructed, and revolutionized We as humans will have done our jobs All weights finally returned to the weight of a leaf A world enlightened and reborn The path may be distant but can be brought closer by each and every citizen Hope can be found but they just look in the wrong places They know what to do but just need motivation to get there The shackles must be broken and true freedom must be shown The time to act is now Because only in union will we change the problem afoot The weight must be lifted
