TRUTH

Awakening

By Jessica KenneyPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I can SEE death now.

I can see it in the shadows of the sun

It's not scary or intimidating, it Just is.

I can see wisdom in the dead of night

So many experiences far and vast

holding lessons to the wise

I can see truth, hidden under the lies

Once upon a time told, carrying a weight that's about to break

Systematic Oppression, learning the truths in the greatest of life's lessons

How I got here I'll never understand, how I made it I'll never comprehend

It seems all they care about is our demise,

watching us fall as they rise

In truth, they are more miserable because

of all the lies

They pile up, over their hearts and minds,

till they're blind and souls sold out for

the agenda of propaganda

so much pain caused,

you have to ask yourself why?

Is it power? Is it fame? Is it the enjoyment

of a false claim?

They don't know who they are without

the power in the game. The riches

and their name

When they look in the mirror, all they

see is pain, more unto them then the

great deal they've caused.

the tracks run deep, instilling fear

into the weak

But then some, few and strong, find

the courage to carry on, the truth

they so desperately seek

to be awakened is to be aware,

I know you can't help but stare

curiosity has you feeling bare,

you tremble and continue to stare

Royalty's first purpose is to inspire

not to be your burning heart's desire
