Otherwise free

We found within our reality a Profound and very real depravity. 

 

The world is filled with things you want not necessarily what you need, 

 

You work yourself into the ground for someone elses greed,

 

Look at yourself in the mirror and convince yourself your free,

 

But it's an eternal prison where you live the bars you just can't see. 

 

The inevitable suppression of your souls vehicle will leave you sinfully relentless,

 

So they must dumb the mind and dull the senses,

 

For you can't have life stock escaping the fences,

 

As cash cows we are defenceless. 

 

So hard for us to be saved within a system,

 

The Humanitarian condition advanced so fast that we completely missed them.

Entertaining lines that combine a welcome rhythm and points
to ponder in a pertinent "package" for thought.
