A poem for those whose minds are open....

Living life in this matrix is a difficult task. Feels like everyone around is wearing a personality mask. Hiding their true intentions inside every task. You never know who to trust or who to call when in need. You got "loved ones" but they only call when they got mouths to feed. Then turn around and act like their words ain't more than they actually seem. Every time I turn on the tv, it can feel like an ongoing torture to me. Commercials, tv shows and movies aren't as entertaining as they use to be. Maybe cause I know the truth behind all the lies and fake success that these celebrities make you think was free.

My eyes are open to the world and what it truly is and I'm grateful because now my vision isn't blurred or fizzed. I can see who's real and who are fake. I understand why people don't give, they take. Souls, thoughts, and the true minds of individuals are up for grabs. Cause as a slave to this matrix, you can no longer want for that. You have to do what Satan says, and don't you dare complain. You think you can only get better in life but you won't ever be the same . You will always be a puppet and always be in chains. All for the money and the "glamourous things".

It's a reason they don't tell you what it really takes to achieve that. Cause once you know the truth, you won't want anything to do with that. As many distractions and lies these puppets make, the crazy thing is that it's always been in your face. Making statements that's obvious and redundant that these confused minds run with. While the righteous people let it roll off their backs like it's nothin'. Cause we understand this matrix and look at the bigger picture. Don't entertain this negative energy e just listen to our scriptures.

Living life in this matrix is a hard place to be for the people who are righteous and their minds are free. We don't want for anything, we bring humbleness and peace to a land that was built off of soul takers and greed. But we gon' keep our heads up and fight for what we believe until Yah Elohim let's us go through the portals and leave.
