Angry day rhyme.

It's a constant struggle trying to live this way. Work everyday just to make a little pay. Work everyday so that we can eat today. Do you see the issue in the words I say? It's all about the cash we use to support our needs in the world based on money where the money's based on greed. Wants and needs, there's no difference anymore when the money is the goal whether you're rich or you're poor, the world's lost sight of the thing's it had before, when living life to the fullest was what people lived for. It's insane, how we strain, while we struggle to obtain, to possess, we obsess, nothing but the fucking best. You can own the whole world and never truly live. Happiness isn't bought, it's something that you give. It's something you pursue, like a passion or a hobby, the things we love to do with our friends and family. So tell me why, tell me when, tell me how did we miss, the little things in life that bring us peace and bliss. Tell me when they changed the definition of freedom, when we sold our souls to this greed based system. When we became slaves to our own desire, when money became the only way to climb higher. Trust me it's not and what a shame if you disagree but the root of all evil just isn't for me. I wanna live and let live. Love and let love. Regardless of race or belief of what's up above. I wanna love my life til my final breath, not looking back with regret upon my death. That's not living at all.
