Rhetoric vs. Reality

Song lyrics

is this really the melting pot?

is this all really so great?

racism and bigotry is alive and well,

a world spawning greed and hate

all men created equal,

legally that's true

but all men treated equal?

do you believe that too?

what is your rhetoric?

compared to your reality?

what we say is really true

is truly just insanity

cloud your mind, with naive thoughts

buried inside, it slowly rots

the truth is under 10 tons of guilt

lost in a fairy tale, that your ignorance built

black out now, you always do

ignore the truth, deny it's true

no acknowledgement needed, to recognize the truth

shed your stupidity to the minds of our youth

what is your rhetoric?

compared to your reality?

what we say is really true

is truly just insanity

question your reality

and you will truly find

the more we claim progression

the more we fall behind

the quicker you accept the fact

the quicker comes the fix

so rebel against the norm

stop turning stupid tricks

what is your rhetoric?

compared to your reality?

what we say is really true

is truly just insanity

[Gracie-San]

This would be a great song with music put to it.

You pose a great question, "What is your rhetoric compared to your reality?" That, added with lyrics of truth that have an ironic tone, the rhythm of the poem flowing smoothly, and the message that you send, it's a great, great poem.

And as I said before, with music and a great vocalist, this song would be an underground hit. Great, great write. :)
