Uhoh....opinions

You ever have those moments

When you have nothing else to write

But you crave to scream

Into the void

Of words and thoughts

Just to hear others screams echo back?

A blank canvas of rage

And unsaid words

Cluster into your mind

Not meant to be said

Out loud but read

Like a secret laced with poison

The more who know

The more that are at risk

Of never being completely cured

And only when it's dark

Do I begin to wait

To seeth and grit

And contemplate

How much of this life

I truly hate

But Of which I am apart

I'm a working part of it all

And to feel the line of my life

Is to simply tolerate

While others sneer

And show their hate

And to accept that I must live and die

Within the walls they desecrate

Distract, medicate, pay and ****

Saluting my allegiance to a dollar bill

Reality tv is now considered a thrill

And pop and rap overflowing past fill

The idea that rules keep us safe

Just because I told you so

Unless you're a different race

Then the laws are meant for those who can't pay

Cause criminals with money

Somehow always manage to get away

I wish I were stupid

Or brain dead at least

And be completely unaware

Than to witness times as these

It's nothing to write about

Cause you already know

The worlds going to ****

And we're letting it go

As long as we do nothing

Then they'll assume we like it

So **** change

**** hope

**** ever evolving

I'll be dead and rotting

Before they get to solving

And now my rage is echoed in black

If you're in the darkness too

Just echo back
