Realism 11/26/2014

If you want to know

You have to search

And if you search

You must be ready. 

The truth is what matters

And reality is where we live

Nothing else comes close

When you care about survival. 

There is a feeling you get

When something is wrong

And how many have lost

Because they were afraid to offend.

Sometimes it pays

To be aware

Seeing the truth all around you

For what it really means. 

Others will lie

And others will twist

Anything and everything

Just to suit their hatred. 

But isn’t that familiar

As we would all rather hide

Than grow

Blaming anything and everyone

Instead of ourselves. 

Divide, distract, and destroy

That is what you see

As many chase themselves in circles

Unable to observe

And think. 

A long black train

Passed through the gate

And no one even noticed

Brining death, destruction,

Disease, and decay. 

Oh how foolish we are

To not examine ourselves

Swinging at the shadows

Dumb, useless, and dead.  

It is easy to fall

But hard to stand

In the end as in the beginning

We blow it all away. 

Stretch and see

Look and listen

The hard stuff of growing

Everywhere

And every day.
