Problems of the Days

Been brainwashed since out the womb
By my parents like an army commander in a platoon
It’s really fucking insane I gotta say
The shit on the news, our own problems we face everyday
Not one fucking person hasn’t felt shame
There’s not one fucking person really fucked in the brain
Dr Phill exploits personal problems to entertain
But fuck that asshole he has no idea how to explain
Or give philosophies on your problems in reality
It’s just tv don’t you see?
Another corporate monopoly
The issue here as usually is money
Yet mass amounts of society
Base his words as necessity
It’s a brainwashed mentality
Me like you, you like me
From here to any country, culture, or society
We’ve been taught only what we’ve seen
For some death, shame, and humility
For other great generosity
Who try to live free but get caught up in depressive things
Forcing their minds to start producing irrational thought that’s are polluting
Really this shit gets to me
Makes my mind start reflecting
Humans negotiating, but have no saying
Life with no meaning, it’s life depleting
Humans killing humans, what’s the reasoning?

Matt...

I like this piece... you have a lot to say, and you get some of it out here. There are a few spots where the correct tenses aren't used, but the flow of thought and words are not bad at all. I urge you to take a more active part in our community, find some poets you can relate to, they are here I'm sure, and comment... let these people know you are here... Richard
