You are your lighthouse
Joseph Keenan Jan 2021
Surrounded by people yet all alone
Trapped within this solitary zone
A world where chaos and hate overtake
Every bit of happiness that may try to escape
Laughter and smiles never seem to last
Because we all act like we want to be haunted by memories of our past, than blame each other for the reasons we think we always finish last, maybe we should try and have some class, stop living in these houses built upon glass.
Running, running searching for distance between ourselves and our own ******* resistance, look around at where we are, what the **** is this?
Unless you're the 1 ain't nowhere to go
These days don't reflect life, what is right, everyone is self absorb they don't see the loss of the fight, too many of us just conform, walk like zombies lost in the dead of night, but all heard the warning…..
That was boring, then just go along the next morning, your lives should be the ones in mourning, can't be the ones the chose their way out rather than go on enduring.
I watch the news, and just think **** this place, **** this space, **** all that was built, in minutes it's been brought down to waste, if I hear one more ******* person say this is the greatest….. no the fuckit's not, what plant are they on, they claim free, none of us are free, just blind because no one wants to open their ****** eyes and see.
Screaming for help, does anyone hear
Demons, and  death coming next, who's gonna be blessed, failure and fighting everyone self obsessed.
Echoes, and lost minds, tormenting all day long, **** reality go back to sniffin lines, and see the history of dads that never were in sons over and over remind,
They breakin down woman who were once strong, how many generations was it gonna take for christ sake, now everybody wants to ask well how long, how long, how long, go **** yourselves all 435 actin like you didnt know **** was wrong.
What serenity anyway
Is it a feeling, state of mind, or just words people say, in the midst of neverendin dismay.
Deep rooted evil no time for  soul mates
Wondering why joy is always a day late
Suicide is livin watchin endurin, not dyin, be a miracle when leaders start tryin.
Happiness, the tears cried, fed with every lie.
Unable to distinguish what's real from what's fiction
Hope is an illusion, an optimist's prediction
What will it take to get right
The devil comes on lonely nights
Angels battle but they lose there stand
Reminicent of their holy land
Lost in ours head we hear their harmonious song
A tranquil state  now finding ourselves
Dealing with the hand which we were dealt
Good vs evil, what does it really mean
Are we ***** when we appear to be clean
Life is an illusion a constant mind trick to me, what is it that you see?
Who knows what fate will be
Heaven and hell are both fair game
Will we succumb to peace or fall down in shame
Surrounded by people yet all alone
Trapped within this solitary zone.

Cant care bout welfare
Joseph Keenan Jan 2021
Thank god he couldn't comprehend or understand his own masterplan. Throwin tantrums, self-absorbed, doing so outstanding, screamin out here, "ima build a wall, ima build a wall, history could smack you again, let me take you back to 89, another historical moment in time, ironic too, a fight between east, and west, ya know
Like left, and right, took the better part of 50 years for those nations to think hey, this ain't right.  Stupid ******* wall.  I'm just gettin started grab your cronies homies, if there's anything the house members wanna know give me call, we can discuss right and wrong, how to be nice, violence, it's bad, isn't something to endorse or entice.  Try and not go where you shouldn't be, and know you don't belong, this wasn't even supposed to turn into a song.
And every single one of those men, each of the founding fathers, our racist heros found on each and every dollar; They were ******* they were racist, but they knew this  a fight thats not even worth the bother.
But what did people expect we're sitting on a sacred land, stolen, and built, upon bloodshed, and death I'm not sure what is left.
But were here and told were so blessed. Blessed? How, because we are stuck in your ******* mess?
Newsflash, you, yes you. The person is going to say We live in the greatest country In the world No We Don't This is not The greatest country in the world Eyes you can literally see The Bindings of Society come Unfurled ain't the greatest country , sorry honey We ain't got the greatest economy We barely got a government That can agree That our citizens Needed some money Between July and January Just the thought of that struggle still buries me I don't know if you can see what we see Or if 435 people just happened to end up in the same place not knowing the definition of need?
I know you want to disrespect, and disagree with people like me, Tell us we don't understand and we just can't see We're the ones with our eyes open The ones who can't see Are the ones that are sitting there with fat bank accounts, and Everything they need In abundant amounts Meanwhile wanting to cut spending intended for kids who are starving. You didn't want their parents to have an abortion A pregnancy You crave that power Just stop it And force it But now That's a child has arrived They're not yours That's how you look at it through your eyes Was that child still has hunger And they still cry . If you want to know where the parents are They're struggling summer out living in cars Summer being paid for by the system Because you lock them up For the rest of our life Cuz you thought A dime bag of crack Was so bad it just wasn't right Just another thing privileged And the realm of power And the skin tone of white Stop Don't argue You can't win Is right there You're standing on Elaine built upon sin . Project 1619 Perfect example One of the many that are ample Don't want it in schools That was just made you look like fools What is out there is history It ain't f* mystery Just stopped denying Stop all the Lying Stop caring about guns more than people Stop being so scared of what is different You're going to find Common Ground if you look You a nation of people that can survive but all of you are so scared of yourselves and looking so feeble You did take an oath Took wanted to help people .
Those parents, the ones you are about to blame, they're crying.  Crying about how hard it is, why can't Anybody else see the problem with this.
Open your ******* eyes Realize There's people out there Everyday They pray It's something they can't see they don't believe From you They can have the ability to receive I still Do partisan politics you choose to keep Hurt and repeat Ironically enough not one of you would make it on the ******* Street You wouldn't know where to go how to survive Within a day you wouldn't have anything You can keep But sit up there high and mighty In our seat Now yours Remember You're a Elected Not selected By your party friends There's one thing you can't escape It will be written you will be remembered And it won't be good.
I'm not trying to be an ******* or nothing I just wanted you to think go over have a little Reflection stop putting exceptions on people Because of what they do who they are what they don't, like what they believe ain't right because its different from you, get a clue.
Who knows, the impact of helping and not judging, walking towards and not away from running The endless possibilities that we all could be achieved. I know though, half a million people dead, the important things though getting people out of the system for you, on the right, that matters so now  you can breathe easy that's a ******* relief.
What you all have been doing ain't working Stop playin on partisan lines, I'm no genius but this **** ain't okay, and there's 300 plus million of us that ain't anywhere close to fine.
How is it that the so many people cant see the simplest of problems in this so called civilized society, really you all cant sit there and have the same lie your sayin to me.
Anyway I wasn't trying to go off I was just trying to Understand Understand How we got here who Right-wing conspiracy Theorist think we are. I can tell you this We may have used to have been the land of the free and the home of the Brave Just a little bit more irony for you A land that was built on the hands of slaves So go back read that think about it And come back and sit there f
lie to me All 380 million of us out here and tell us everything f* okay.
Smaller government keeping money amongst the 1% So it can be Hoarded and Limp bag out at the highest of Interest Won't get you out of this No more will America be found within Bliss No We will Sit And the only words you going to have left are I wish.
Help people in need

Questions
Joseph Keenan Jan 2021
I'm not here to judge People But in this world of cancel culture some individuals need to realize that as the world grows colder there's a difference between a human being and a toy soldier.  
Just cuz you agree with an individual's political ideology doesn't mean that everything they say said with completing open honesty just cuz some words we said it doesn't mean they'll ever carry their weight and Lead especially if said by a dude who chose to let you all be abused and yet you still refuse and sit there blind to you just can't not refuse.
Even more ironic Majority Have you went to law school But couldn't have the forethought To take a step back Give yourselves a chance To think maybe you were the ones that should be recused One thing you forgot Yes it's two line own self be true Not the same dude Who has no f* clue . It's hard in a position of power I know you are all very confused He didn't realize how it happened And by the time you did it was too late you sealed your fate Comin From Where I'm sitting I'm actually a little amused But yes still a comprehend That is not cool for anybody to be abused and used Not for 4 years straight through and through .
So many Representatives sit there in positions of power but they're nothing but cowards they say they care about this country in the citizens of it but then all they do If they do nothing they sit And continue to throw their Childish Fits. News flash All 435 Of use You're the one's supposed to set an example But you're calling each other names like ******* and b
* Wondering what's been filling people With Rage Screaming how free we are and why were they greatest country in the world What cutting people off and conceptualizing them in this ideological Cage You guys are on a national f** stage Each and every one of us has every right to be enraged.
It's not okay……
Following blindly into the path of insurrection not even realizing you're playing exactly and everything Exactly As planned The boys over there sitting back A 1600 Watch it with his ******* ******* He took you all good for the last 4 years He made you his whole new career he has you thinking you thinking for yourself but yet each and every one of you following every single Direction Without any exception.
Disrespecting a former vice president Once one of the most respected members of the Senate You followed right along saying how much none of you would regret it . You go ahead and call an old man sleepy but now that he's in office I hope it's time for all of you to take a look back and allies have some personal reflection and while you're doing that shut the **** up about the ******* Second Amendment . It's one more facet of proof that for four years y'all have been used Taken by the master of deception this guy makeover look like a ****** simple infection And while I got your attention and you guys are sitting In deep reflection Here's a few more things I thought I should mention……
For The Last 5 Years you been lost in his world a political Ascension Personal exemption I got a question though How are all of you so ******* smart but yet let emotions bleed right into your heart I know none of you Like him Or his ideas or maybe you should read some Karl Marx. It was him who said history repeats itself first as tragedy Second as farce . And now 20/20 is passed But more Infamous It's something I know you all No Will forever be a part of your past The infamous 435 All of you should be ashamed It doesn't matter left or right you haven't tried to come find Common Ground find a solution You've made a place A sacred ground A place Defile political blame You forgot the people that you were sent there to serve the ones whose interest It is it's always supposed to be your aim.
435 that's how many of you were sitting there still thankful that you're alive Going on each and every new show depending on right or left Promising these delusions and Fantasies If this country is going to thrive Do you know that you're lucky you're all alive Especially after that one day that will forever be infamous January 6th The one both sides have just let go by the wayside Have you been around is there a memo all of you missed?
How many of you took that oath Sir this country Promise to make that sacrifice the one you make with your life because there's an 18 year old kid that went over there and he's there right now and he didn't think twice he just lifted up that hand the one on to his right because he had a sense of Duty or calling a sense that had to be filled for him to live his life . How dare any of you sit there and have your audacity Tell your constituents And those 18 year old kids that you're doing everything you truly believe is right Not even you could be that delusional To think you're fighting anything worth it So what is right .
You need a police force That used to be yours as one Now they're forced into two And even they are done There's nowhere left to go there's nowhere left to run None of us are having fun The American establishment as we all know it has fallen it's done Congratulations It's just one more thing you added In anticipation for all their future Generations But it's okay I'm sure they didn't plan on having any aspirations But again what can we expect out of people that endorse political assassinations Just for the Purpose of saving their own faces .
