I wish I could open your mind for you I wish I could make you see Your lack of yearning for creativity and diversity bothers me Your inability to believe that we are all one makes me fear for us as beings Your lack of empathy and stern upbringing of hatred makes me feel uneasy The way you stack your cash and see it as your idol yet preach the teachings of the bible makes me feel like you are worshipping some very backwards idols and I don't know how you can subscribe to that Your so-called ethics are fucking whack All you care about is power and world domination and cultural elimination Degradation of ourselves as a nation We are a people who are "free" to do as they please yet all we please is chasing money. Paper-obsessed monkeys. Material-hungry junkies. I find it kinda funny that we worry about that more than our environment we live in Now that's real fuckin sinning I wish I could make you realize that imperialism isn't the way Penetrating foreign land and taking away their culture to replace it with our own isn't right. In fact, it's insane. Why do you feel the need to instill your greed into everything you do? In the long run how does that benefit you? Did you lose your soul so long ago and now you just have no way to bring it back home? I want to believe that you can maybe one day embrace the world and see how I see Life should be beautiful for all and people need to be cherished But the way the world is running is making millions perish No sustainability No sharing No loving or even a hint of caring No mercy or remote attempt at understanding How can that be so demanding? How is it wrong to want all persons equally treated? Health should not be a privilege it should be an automatic given What makes you think that someone is worth less than you? What makes you think it's okay to let a person rot away just because they can not pay? It's heartbreaking that money paves the way for life from birth til death. And it's sad to think money-worshipping may never end And I don't know if people will ever stand up to defend what's right. But the thought of an evolution of consciousness helps me sleep at night So maybe one day your mind will be unleashed I wish I could open it for you I wish I could set it free
