Look at all of them
chained down to the ground they walk.
People try to free them
we light up their darkness.
Still they choose to turn away
to live a life with no idea.
Their culture tells them everything
they should believe and what to do.
They claim that they're not enslaved
the evidence is there.
Isn't it hilarious
they think there is a right or wrong.
Lost within the bitter cold
I see I laugh alone.
I am labeled as deranged
for they say that I am blind.
Why is it that I see
all that lies in front of me.
What if I told you
that we are all here for nothing?
What if I told you
that we were once just like the tigers?
Human kind is incapable
of living life without a reason.
Break away from all your thought
break away from given dreams.
See what lies in frnt of you
see how they have molded you.
Everything that you believe
every word you choose to speak.
This is the inevitable
it's not a problem nor a solution.
The only problem that appears
is that they're chained to limits.
I will take the path less traveled
they will call me wrong.
Why can't they just let it be
nothing's what they think it is.
Now they're slaves to their own creation
sadly we are in it to.
We are so supported
by the thing that holds us down.
It's all we ever know
and it's all we ever see.
It keeps our souls protected
and it keeps our hearts preserved.
When you break it down
you'll see that there is nothing here.
Life is what you make of it
yes this is tried and true.
So why can't everybody
simply live as though they're free.
Now it's far too late for them
their logic is too warped.
Author notes
Anarchy, in it's truest and purist form wouldn't be a bad thing. Of course our government lets these punk rock bands sell their albums on store shelves. Hahahahaha, silly kids, they really think they're protesting the establishment.
They're merely an example and another one of culture's diversions. As long as the "punk rock chaos" mentality exists, the government wins. True anarchy means no one, and everyone has control.
You might as well enjoy your culture, because the chance of sucess for a plan like this is long gone. I hope that you got what you wanted, and I hope everyone gets something out of this. Aaaaa... Never Mind.

The future is what we make.

With that being said, others should let those around them live their lives.

i dont think we will ever truly be free. Life is just to complicated because people are to high on there horses to take a minute and understand. People wanna do what they wanna do and not take consequences. great write BC. Have a good day
-
People can't live as though they are free because society and life itself ties us down, the termoils we're forced to face daily, or the assholes that somehow make it into our lives, and make it even worse. Anyways, yes you are right... one should feel that they can live freely and not ONLY for themselves. Well Done BC! Wait.. can I still say that? lol Well Done Brandon! (smile)

Yes, BC's fine.
It's somewhat discouraging and this is simply the very reason why I am discontented with such a chained existance. Not to sound arrogant, but the world doesn't deserve a thinker such as myself. Perhaps they're fine the way they are, but I'm not.
