It's interesting walking this earth Observing and analyzing the self in relationship to the aspects defining life defining a one   What am I to expect Embrace reject accept What is the bottom line Defining a you a me   I sometimes wonder Seeing you hopping from image to image And I would like to ask Do you know yourself Seeing your allowance For the popular sentiments Governing the day Defining a you   The care taken Trying to maintain imagery Be it personal or otherwise Yet turning a blind eye On the essence of life Living behind the convenient excuses As not to be   As I walk these paths I see the elders living in fears Not been able to Enjoy the golden years And the fears run throughout   Those shouldering Turning the wheels Selfishness and fears Determining factors for actions Ignoring the inequalities Injustices that abounds The ultimate excuses Justifications for hypocritical actions   I see the children The quest to define self Relying on the airwaves Been led to think Life is about sexuality Imagery and violence Behaving accordingly As the society fails To uphold principles Ready with labels and more reasons why .
