Once upon a time I reflected on a period prior to mine In retrospect, I came to find that we perpetuated history Recycling moments across a timeline The whole wide world is evidently hollow And further depreciates in light of those whom we follow As they enable delinquency Amputate humanity Appeal to the ghouls that dissipate the pillars of society Poison the minds of the fools giving them notoriety The living digest themes Live for immaculate things Which, in death, are never seen In poverty, we conceive, consume, compete, abuse, retreat And provide excuses merely to preserve what may not be perceived Incarcerating the innocent In the midst of voluntary ignorance While ridiculed in the court of public opinion Contradicting principles Jeopardizing posterity Incapacitating those exhibiting vulnerability Decapitating innocence Manipulating instances to favor their social agenda In collusion with corporations Assuming control of public consensus At present day, corruption is eminent The majority of men and women divert their attention to frivolous action Until their human rights are converted to privilege Only then do they abandon contentment For fear is an incredible stimulant Let us never forget this country was coveted by disingenuous immigrants Blanketing deception with the semblance of genuine intent In order to gain the interest of natives they would later rape and pillage Afflicted with infection and diluted through non-consensual sex By those who came to claim and occupy their villages In current events, I notice a troubling resemblance Made apparent by man-made pestilence, gentrification And occupation of foreign nations Manifesting a correlation between the past and the present Which brings the future to question Will we reflect on today to find nothing has changed Once upon a time I reflected on a period prior to mine In retrospect, I came to find that we perpetuated history The future is contingent on our state of mind Mind Once upon a time I reflected on a period prior to mine In retrospect, I came to find that we perpetuated history Recycling moments across a timeline Once upon a time I reflected on a period prior to mine In retrospect, I came to find that we perpetuated history The future is contingent on our state of mind Following a detrimental path and approaching obliteration Failing to counteract our perpetuation Oblivious of definite depletion of initial abundance By way of rapid consumption Acting upon a covet Proceeding with no regard for our potential Eradicating a positive future In a fatal pursuit of trivial material possessions We languish in disarray And willfully continue to be lead by our obsession Abolishing contention Embracing the bliss acquired through ignorance And invested in feeling content Leaning upon our perception Advance in chronic misdirection Misinformed and complacent toward the human condition Fragmented and accompanied by social ambivalence Our lack of lament is provided by indifference Effacing what upon our survival is contingent We gradually diminish Subsequent to our conforming to consensus Supporting the majority in guilting others out of opposing opinions As a method of suppression of anyone in possession Of an honest perception of our direction Common systematic application of pacification Employed for the purpose of neutralization Of all voices in a position to impeach what currently stands Having the potential to collapse the rule of man Overcome with abundance of social injustice Orchestrated under the guise of liberation For the sake of inauthentic acceptance and validation By way of representation Using history to justify our situation Persistently eluding personal responsibility In our neglect of individuality To perish collectively with a system In a world that will eventually dissolve Standing in anticipation of our downfall Once upon a time I reflected on a period prior to mine In retrospect, I came to find that we perpetuated history Recycling moments across a timeline Once upon a time I reflected on a period prior to mine In retrospect, I came to find that we perpetuated history The future is contingent on our state of mind Once upon a time I reflected on a period prior to mine In retrospect, I came to find that we perpetuated history Recycling moments across a timeline Once upon a time I reflected on a period prior to mine In retrospect, I came to find that we perpetuated history The future is contingent on our state of mind Doomed to fail To govern yourself Fighting for freedom While oppressing yourself Doomed to fail To govern yourself Fighting for your freedom While oppressing yourself
