Why is it that we live when we live not.
Striving for a dream when hope is all you got.
Pursuit of happiness and the rest that we fought,
Perish in seconds because to others it's asking a lot.
Who do we blame when we gave it our best shot!
The efforts we gave were honest, were they not?
What was this all for?
Wasted efforts thrown to the floor!
No! Not as long as I have breath in these lungs.
Society wont enslave me into stupidity's wrongs.
I will fight to the end for the feelings within,
No more dead ends I will find a path and never give in.
My heart pumps hard for the words I act upon,
Tired of the negative answers life delivers me on...
The empty and forgotten,
Are the ones who are stopping
Giving in because they were hoping!
When they should have been acting!
By societies cruelties, lies, and unjust crimes!
Judge me not, if you also live not!
Don't we all have dreams society stopped?
They're telling us we would never have a shot.
Saying we are children if we don't follow their plot.
Controlling us with their strings cutting out wings!
Making us feel weak destroying our hopes and dreams.
We fade from the individual to another face in a stream.
A reflection of our being no longer our own feelings,
When they have control of our homes and goals,
We seize to be the free...
Empty and forgotten they want us to be.
America, land of the governments dreams.
And shattered liberties and broken eagle wings.
Lady liberty, we'll miss your beauty.
May we one day remember unity.
When we're no longer enslaved
By a government of mutiny!
