Dreamer at heart writing poetry as a hobby
Seems like all news outlets
Are more than unreliable
Steering to one side or the other
When it should be middle
Just the facts please
Or are you begging on your knees
Pity and a shame
As the world goes
Up in flames
Too afraid to report
The flat out truth

At an ancient burial site
I got more than a little fright
Why did I decide to visit at night?

My heart jumped
As it pumped
When I felt that bump

An ethereal light
What a sight
Calming my flight

I followed its path
To which I felt no wrath
Peace now is had

The agonizing wait
Waiting on my fate
To finally be sealed
I met up with a cannibal
I am the meal
I hope I am drugged
So the pain will be unfelt
Oh my
The hand has been dealt

He couldn't be found
Though I searched and searched
Maybe he didn't want to be
Woe is me
Unsteady heartbeat
Wondering why
Tears dried up
Forgotten to cry
Story of my life
Still I go on
Only thing I know
Life's a big con

Eternal damnation
A once strong nation
Falling apart
At it's make believe seams
Nation of memes
Out of control power
Getting stronger by the hour
As so many just wring their hands
Blame it on the bands
Of people caring
Cause of course
Their the ones to blame

Step outside on the wrong day
Looking the wrong way
Nothing such as freedom
In this land of unforgettable terror
Thinking you'll walk that thinnest line
Looking neither left or right
Just following blindly along
Time has come
If you know you know
Rebellion should rule the day

I convinced myself
For I thought it was all
I would ever have
That you were my lifeblood
My love, my fate
Only to finally see
Twas not love, was hate
That you had
Thinking control was
What you must do
Til I woke up to see
No controlling me
My inner wild child
Seeking to be free
