Abandoned
Even betrayed
They say it all gets better
Until the torment returns

Shoplifting the dreams
Of a nation cursed to sleep
Never to awaken
Once aware
Prepared to be cut out
A voice behind a broken megaphone
Waiting for a patient view
While the intellect sails across the sea.

Consider what you are
One who is able-bodied in life
Knows their place
Even when it is displeasing
We may have choice
But not over all things.

You need to be careful
With your relation
To the subconscious
Or your true self
May soon live elsewhere

Examine all cultures
Learn about their principles
Of loyalty
Honor
Respect
Dignity
Learning a fraction about life
Can piece together
A clearer picture

Just because I cannot
Doesn't mean I should not

Alone
A cycle remains
Together
The cycle still remains
For it was orchestrated for years
By those
We have never known
