Pumping conspiracies into my brain time and time again.
I try to save myself from the fallings of the world,
But nothing will do it.
Think that they are right, never see that light,
Where only time will tell us the truth.
The end of the world is nearing?
I couldn't have known from all this war and exploding.
Another dead, another body.
Bow to the one whom we worship,
Thinking this is right, never thinking for ourselves.
Believe what's on the news and in the magazines.
Tv just a time for make believe.
Sell me another dollar that I didn't need.
Society is calling me.
Join the forces of their world or fight back and be hurt.
Two options which never seemed right.
Perhaps I'd rather die than believe their words of lies.
Spilling oil into our brain, seeping lies all in vain.
Cover the truth and you will find happiness.
Don't believe a word they say.
Filling us with the meanings of life again it's not right.
Help myself but everything else is crumbling around me.

Very interesting. The message was very strong and clear throughout the poem. Thank you for entering and good luck.

Wow I got all emotional whilst reading this (I think Isolation Years by Opeth added to it!). My favourite lines would have to be: 'The end of the world is nearing?
I couldn't have known from all this war and exploding.
Another dead, another body.'
The lies are shrouding our true happiness I say. When the conformity stops the false expectations will stop too. And the government sucks (especially now since that they don't have Johnny!) Great write Sam! I love your rants about society!

Blessed Be~

Truth
There's some spelling stuffs in there that I think are wrong, but I'm a poor speller anyhow, so I'm not sure. Excellent write. I think probably you hit the nail on the head here..."who's thinking for themselves anymore??" Excellent read, thanks! (I forgot the applause thing, now they wont let me add them...I was gonna give three just for the thoughts expressed)

Hidden truth and outright lies.
It is of the sad state of man and his world that you speak, where the resources we seek tend to be under an enemy's soil and we cannot but find a way to steal it out from under thier feet.
Let not the tools of propaganda drive you to conceive that killing your fellow man is the way of the righteous and a sign of fortitude.
I like it, I like it so.
