IS it worth it?

IS it worth it?

I feel like a voice of reason in a deaf society
Blind to my signals of reality that I gesture to them
While they're numb to the touch of the facts
They seem to go the wrong direction
As long as they're being unknowingly lead
And I try to scream to them to stop
But they seem to just step off the edge anyway
I pull them from the table slapping sense into them
Pointing out the fact that they are just being fattened up
Still they rush head on to celebrate some one else's Thanksgiving
With my people as the main course
I am the one that cares....but I am called the devil
Jumping in front them taking all the bullets
They look at my bleeding heart, my infected open wounds
And instead of helping they tell me I'm “blocking their blessings”
I don't know if the fight is still worth it
Whether my own people are worth saving
Should I still be awake or should I go to sleep too
So I lay my head down and close my eyes
But I still can fight the need to move as I hear the railroad of prison coming
To run my mind over with lies and pock out my eyes from seeing the truth
I forget again that I have given up on my own folks
Re-entering the losing fight again
Because I see now I'm doomed to forever offer a hand
When most of us are just looking for another hand out


Wake up.........

Tone of friendship or...?

I mean that they are various realms of fight actionment which delimitate the purposes and the aims. You might, in your case, take your proper actionments to a higher notch than your everyday life basis one. Some gaps reside in the social realm or the pro-spiritual one or the both combined. You may decide now what is the issue you wish on fulfillment and act your gives to them and follow thus your mode of life to self-maturity. I acknowledge that fellowmen around oneself mayn't own the same motives as being their own way onwards or at leats the same operatings if so, but you could still claim louder and be heard of your own.

Shake
