In real time
in my real days
I always seek and find
the real realities of the real
and more often than not, they're cold and blunt
glaring and snarling it stares you in the face unflinching
vividly truthful and a hard taskmaster it lays it bare and real
take it or leave it, buy it or run its up to you for I'm always here

So in real time
and in real days
I stood my ground and faced it
show me all as the are I want to know
Reality yanked me in and laid it out bare
open your eyes it commanded and see me for real
this here ain't no bed of roses and we don't deal in lies
we see things for real ain't no dressing up or sugar coating here

Well in real time
and all ******* days
I became a disciple of reality
see all as they are and says all as it is
but I immediately realized in great surprise
that most out there don't do reality but worship delusions
foolhardy in tinted goggles they lie, hide, avoid, deny or reject
in staunch weaknesses they see what they want to see regardless

And in real world
in real dos and don'ts
nothing but nothing is as real shows
peoples, child, enemies, friends lovers, cats and dogs
meeting, living yet bending realities in each and which ways
thieves are heroes, deceivers are true lovers, liars popular sages
wrongs spun to rights, lights dimmed an reality messengers killed
and all in ankle chains and handcuffs see hear take and give as they see their realities..........
When your reality is distorted and your moral compass is confused, remember
One does not have to operate with great malice to do great harm. The absence of empathy and absence of understanding are sufficient (Charles M. Blow)
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. (Albert Einstein)
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent (Thomas Jefferson)
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. (Martin Luther King Jr)
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere (Martin Luther King Jr)
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends (Martin Luther King Jr)
There are times when silence becomes an accomplice to injustice (Ayaan Hirsi Ali)
I chose to defend human rights because I cannot maintain my silence in the face of injustice (Chen Guangcheng)
The more you answer the injustice of others, the more you heal your own soul (Julia Post)
