comes from the generalization we see from the lives
portrayed on t.v.
but what’s really going on in our society?
I see mothers driven to insanity
overwhelmed by their responsibilities
left upon them from a lack of community
i see children turning to drugs
to escape the pain of our
fucked up reality
I see the rage of the
“Right of the Individual”
messing with our nobility
can’t you see?
“We are flowers of one garden,
Leaves of one tree,
Waves of one ocean” *
the human body is our
community and our cancer
is our society
we are dying forgetting our own equality.
so come with me, stand up
take hold of your identity,
become a conscious member of humanity
and help me
i’ll bring what i see, and
you bring what you see and
together let’s change our reality.
together, let’s redefine our society.
