Plug Up The Dam



Why can't you plug up the dam.
Flowing over with indecision.
While those sitting in positions,
Picked to be political leaders.
And others spewing religious beliefs.
From pulpits and podiums.
Yet hypocrites can't seem to fix,
All the conflicts allowed to permit.

Why can't you,
Plug up the dam?
With a letting go of your pretensions.
And imitating images that are false.
Leaving you claim to represent,
Indebted to pay the cost.

Everywhere the signs are there.
Beware of deception.
Deception has no benefit.
Not even even those,
Who profit from conflicts.

Everywhere the signs are there.
People are losing their minds.
And time is running out.
For those in denial to find,
Truth kept deluded pollutes.
Truth kept deluded dupes.
Producing nothing more but blinded fools.

Wake up!
And...
Refuse the addiction of fiction.
Wake up!
And...
Plug up the dam.
Overflowing with addiction of fiction.
And drowning out common sense.
Dumbing down all consciousness.
Wake up!
And...
Refuse the addiction of fiction.
Denying that truth is real,
Eventually kills the brain cells.
And a mind to use,
Forever gone.

Diluting of the truth to refuse it,
Causes a damage unable to mend.
Diluting of the truth to refuse it,
Pollutes!
With a too late to hesitate and wait,
For a dam unplugged that floods!
