the illusion of legitimacy

freedom is not flag
freedom is not law
there is no constitution that can guarantee liberty
whether we call it facism, communism, or democracy
power is what men seek

power to define and deny the people
their humanity

life is a beautiful struggle
and through every shadow lies lesson
and if you listen
in the dissonance there is harmony

we can fill our book with rules and ideology
we can fill our minds with science and philosophy
but if our souls are not whole then what we will live is...
psychopathy

our shadows left to their own devices
become the beast that feed on vices
and your world becomes reflection
of the war within
the violence begins when we fail to listen
to the wisdom etenal and forever within
each of us

there may be no freedom
because our journey seems written
but no man should have the right to stand
in the way of our story
live in your truth
and you live in the glory
of the true human being
