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 ******* whack
All you care about is power and world ******* 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 ****** 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
Found this deep in my notes, forgotten about til today. Amazing how it rings even truer in these dismal times our planet is experiencing...
