Hey!



After all that has been said to say.
In ways to appreciate.
Liked or dislike or pictures taken to display.
A truth revealed with attempts to conceal it,
Will be faced or not.
But...
Hey!
Replacing it,
For another choice made...
With another today that does not exist.
Is not a truth lived.
And many choosing to disbelieve,
Destroying to cease this reality will see...
There way of life now taken for granted,
Eliminating its normalcy.
Or whatever that was,
Gone to not come back.
Will be gone to not come back.
To reminisce it missed to wish,
People had used conscious common sense.
Instead of impulses.
Found to find themselves,
Regretting the force of ignorance...
Enforced and made to obey as law.
Without order, rules.
But fools allowed to follow and control,
Every move one makes made.
Without choice.
Or a word to hear from a shut mouth!
Left mentally ill and in a daze crazed,
With others babbling to have aged...
About what could have but wasn't...
In those days they believed,
Deception to accept would lead...
A diversified democracy,
And that image of greatness.
Would reverse the purpose,
Of a fiction worshipped to delude...
The image and the pretentiousness of it!
