Its funny how soon we forget. The Knots in my chest, Correct me, if I am correct. We live in a system, within a built in system, With backup systems, that protect the system. By making us victim, to our own system. We trusting a nonanimate object With intimate aspects, to serve and protect Via eternal justice, for all human life. Greed entered the feed, and it cost us Our bill of rights. Sending women and Children to fight the systems fight, It even convinced them, that fighting Is right? Labeled human beings with Dog tags, so we think they a low enough life form, No even a human being, so it’s alright to take their life. Their system doing the same thing, so it makes it alright. Too many negatives, I’m positive, will never get it right. But who am I, I am just a guy. Who’s social insecurities came from Social securities the system controlling Via my social security Numbers mixed with obscurity With a credit rating that doesn’t tell the whole story. A track record that’s way too old; You see Between you and me, The system doesn’t want that to be As long as there is a greater than, An equal can never be; it has nothing to do With me and you. The system designed by a chosen Few that tell the rest of the world what do, with rules That allow them to rule, playing us for fools, Been doing it for generations, And there generations do it too.

The System
Its funny how soon we forget. The Knots in my chest, Correct me, if I am correct. We live in a system, within a built in system, With backup systems, that protect the system. By making us victim, to our own system. We trusting a nonanimate object With intimate aspects, to serve and protect Via eternal justice, for all human life. Greed entered the feed, and it cost us Our bill of rights. Sending women and Children to fight the systems fight, It even convinced them, that fighting Is right? Labeled human beings with Dog tags, so we think they a low enough life form, No even a human being, so it’s alright to take their life. Their system doing the same thing, so it makes it alright. Too many negatives, I’m positive, will never get it right. But who am I, I am just a guy. Who’s social insecurities came from Social securities the system controlling Via my social security Numbers mixed with obscurity With a credit rating that doesn’t tell the whole story. A track record that’s way too old; You see Between you and me, The system doesn’t want that to be As long as there is a greater than, An equal can never be; it has nothing to do With me and you. The system designed by a chosen Few that tell the rest of the world what do, with rules That allow them to rule, playing us for fools, Been doing it for generations, And there generations do it too.
Please re-read and replace the word system with government.
