Control. (Song)

There's truth to be found 

Around any dark corner

The shadow people lie 

To control us mortals

Manipulate weaker minds

In to submission

The fear takes a hold of them

F**k what they're missing

But to come out and say 

What you see's not easy

For fear of the normal ones 

Taking away everything

For fear of medication 

Numbing the power

To see a different path 

Then rainbows and flowers

A cloud of darkness 

Surrounds me

Light gets through 

Cause I let it's warm energy

Flow through my veins 

When I'm holding my daughters hand

Always be room for her 

In this cold world of mine

Don't want to impose

Or force ideologies

Keeping her mind pure and simple

Is hard I see

Props to the zealots of god.

You heard what I said

And I'll say it again

I've believed a lot of beliefs

None of them win

Felt the presence of God, but power from Nine Worlds

I'm sorry to tell you

All of them work

It's a matter of mind 

Over matter alright

You can grab power 

If set in mind's sight

Quit waging wars over this s**t

Accept that it could be 

And only it could be.

Can I have a listen to the finished version on the tape when you've done it?

The song was very deep, I felt a connection towards the lyrics.

Nicely written!

[Tarry Franck]

Very powerful and well written - was unable to see video though. I like dark and powerful stuff - thought this was great!

[Rob Santana]

wow,this reads like it was from deep within. Dark and powerful.Looking forward to hear your mix tape homie....

[Damien Davison]

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate it.

[Lushan]

It's very dark and angry.... I don't know how to comment objectively. it's well crafted and clearly very powerful

[Damien Davison]

Aye, dark and angry it is. Thank you for the review.

[Dayran]

A civil mind that counsels patience to a passion that is past all endurance and takes each day as it comes. You can do more .... you can take it by the minute. Was an Olympian ideal, if I read our legends correctly.

[Damien Davison]

Thank you for your comment, live in the now kind of deal?

[Dayran]

Sort of ..... and see the world in a grain of sand. ( Shelley )

[Redrascalstrawberry]

Hey! Very empowering. Nice write.

[Damien Davison]

Thank you!

[Ana Soo]

I think this is a great write. Though the choice of word is simple but it haven't affected the depth of the poem.

[Damien Davison]

Thank you for the review!

[Rain]

Just not my style, Damien..and that's all it is..a question of style. I think you took what was a fairly decent rant, and slipped into a mediocre society slam. It's only a matter of taste. You have talent.

[Damien Davison]

I appreciate the review, thank you. I hear you on the mediocre society slam.

[Rain]

Keep Writing, Damien. I meant it when I said I saw unique talent.

[Damien Davison]

Thank you for taking the extra time to put that.

[King Wolfe (Dylan A. Ki..]

lyrics sounds good, ill have to watch the vid later but i like it so far

[Damien Davison]

Thanks for reading!

[King Wolfe (Dylan A. King)]

no problem, its just the longer things that bothers to read

[B-poet]

Very empowering. Your mindset is your most valuable tool you have in this life. You've illustrated what it needs to be subjected to so you can be viewed as a influential person who advocates change for the better. Great work. :)

[Damien Davison]

Thank a lot, I appreciate the review
