For What It Is To Be



Fresh air to breathe and its quality is a need.
For any inhabitant on this Earth,
To do it successfully.
Along with water unpolluted included.
Regardless of the many attempts,
To cleanse them both artificially!

Lies told to tell,
Sold to sell done to delude...
Minds to dilute the truth did to do well.
Yet, for what it is to be,
Truth kept to keep polutted...
Seems never that way to stay successful!

And these days we live,
Made to depend on this and that...
To accept what is created,
Will make us more healthier and wise.
Although that which keeps us ill and sick,
With prescribed medications taken.
Done to share our addicting dysfunctions!

'I disagree.
Lies are more addicting.
Making people feel,
After taking prescribed medications...
More healthier and wise!'
