CONFLICTING MINDS
We argue with ourselves
We begin internal sabotage
And conflict our minds with burdens of the flesh
We enter into battle with our souls
And wonder where the bitterness came
We kill distorted minds
Removing the truth about our lives
We avoid the truth and follow the path
The world has set for us
Conflicting minds
Creating distorted generations
Of false sense of power
Where government raise kids
And values no more
Parental intervention no more
Only beings thirsty for affection
Never satisfied with what is
But thirsty for what is to come
Hungry for more
Never enough power
Never enough money or wealth
Never enough clothes or jewellery
Just people conformed to societal standards
When will it stop?
Will it ever stop?
Or is this just a continuation of what
Our forefathers started
