My Own Worst Enemy

Is Me

I'm my own worst enemy

I've lost the friend in me

Haven't learned my lessons

Haven't seen any blessings

Why is my mind always messing

And stressing

Always deflecting

It's been a while since I have taken a second to listen

Why can't I just embrace the vision

That love is the message

To show us through the passage

A world trying to act so savage

The good there is less of

Yet we still manage

Seems that more people seem less aware of

That evil has pulled a knievel

Enshrouded a veil

While looking for our souls to steal

Like this realm isn't real

Let us get on our hands and knees to pray

Be thankful for today

Find a love in ourselves like it's the only way

Get together to rejoice and together we will say

That I love you

Let the word be true

I'm ready to be see through

Let me humble myself and make my mind anew

Let the anger spill over instead of let it stew

Sit meditate and not get caught up in a ruse

So be dear to me

To help it be clear me

Let my third eye see

Manipulated history

No longer effecting me

So now we will sing

Of what You mean to me

What Your love is going bring

Though the healing might sting

Rejecting the darkness

No longer mingling

Get over yourself and find something to spark it

Getting ready on the mark

Set go, Running from the start

Seems we're running very far

Look up and see His shining star

If we feel lost we can see He knows who we really are

Why do we keep hating each other

Fearing each other

Seems we're all feeling so smothered

We no longer bother

To think of each other as brothers

Sisters and mothers

Or even as fathers

So the pain we keep on lathering

Positions of power we keep pandering

And to each other we keep slandering

Where is a man to bring

The message of love

Sent from above

When is enough enough?

Why we trying to act so tough?

Everything getting so rough

Minds filled with nothing but nonsensical stuff

Getting agitated as we keep on rubbing

On each other's egos

So here we go

As we feel no

Remorse; straying off the course

Forgetting the resource

Spirits getting sore

Of the fight within the core

Always wanting more

Nothing left in store

Stray from the Lord

Seems the light we deplore

Far from the shore

Caught up in the lore

Asking ourselves, Who we really fighting for?

One thing that's for sure..

And you may concur

The end is gonna bring

Us all to our hands and knees

And we're gonna start to plead

Why the abandoning

What do you demand of me

Then truth will stare at you and me

Saying "you were always questioning

Never once did you believe

So now you will see

End of this society

Done by the hands of your fantasies

As you lose your sanity

By spreading vanity"

Where did we go wrong as humanity

Further and further away; this is our dampening

Then asking ourselves what is happening?

This is our damning

Caused by the truth that we have been banning

Not canning

To store inside of ourselves

Lost the true wealth

And true health

Of one's self

Partaking in the show and tell

As further we fell

To this hell

We created

Only the lies we tell

Got us situated

Deep in this well

And there we will dwell

Until we get up; fight back until we hear the bell
