The reality

I can't take it anymore,

all the propaganda telling us to smile,

you can't just drug me in order to make me "happy",

you can't make me sugar-coat it, is that why you're mad,

that I've seen through the lies and hollow words,

that I'm not a puppet on your strings,

is that why you say it's "okay",

to forget our morals,

to follow the crowd,

to simply obey without reason?

Is that why they all point fingers,

stating I mad or crazy,

am I to blame,

for messing up the system,

for keeping "common" sense,

am I to blame?

I guess they need a "bad" guy,

but it's not ISIS, or abortion, or murderers, or politicians, or even rapists,

it's simply my fault,

and all of those who can't play the part.

I did enjoy this poem.
"I guess they need a "bad" guy,

The above lines solid and worthwhile to read. I agree with your thoughts. Government need excuses and reason for their failure. Thank you Rachel for sharing the excellent poetry.

haha that right your meant to be you
the others that are like you cannot be you
chose for you
you have the right to chose and the sicking problems of the world come from the freedoms given
you have a choice to be sad or happy its your choice to love or hate live or create I enjoyed it I guess I do favoritize those who think like me though xP
