I stay outside of the box
Always in that state of mind
Got to represent my heart
I refuse to press rewind
Please respect my sense of pride
Gonna get out of this place
Where good people seem to hide
And the others all just pace.
I don’t want to be deceived
Cuz I’m sick of the deception
If you truly understood
It’d screw up your perception

Wake Up - It's 2011
Every day we’re faced with the reality that this world we live in is full of hate. Innocent lives are taken from us daily and not always because it was their natural time to go. Some people no longer live for the possibilities, but instead live in fear of inevitabilities. Not every person is blessed to have a home in a safe neighborhood. Your community and your surroundings can have a huge effect on how you coexist with the rest of society. We are breading our children with venomous hate and the ability to exploit the ones around them for their personal gain. No longer are children instilled with the morals and values of “yesterday”. Not everyone believes that we are all equal and some think that even though we are equal we’re not all entitled to the same things.
If you want proof just turn on your local news broadcast or log on to their website. Every day innocent people are dying in our city, our world, and a majority of the victims fall to bullet wounds and bad timing. Life isn’t respected anymore; isn’t cherished. Our greed has caused us to take for granted this thing called life that we’re blessed with. Seems to me a lot of folks walk around thinking that the earth was created just so they could come into existence and bless the world with its presence like they're the golden child or something. Out of the bazillions upon zillions of people that are already walking this earth, what makes you any different than the person sitting across from you. They all came into this world the same way. Through the love of a man and woman. Unless you think that the human species was randomly put on earth, which I don’t, its hard to explain why so many of us are living amongst each other. Human beings were meant to live in harmony with each other. If we all treated others as we’d want to be treated don’t you think we’d be somewhere completely different by now? In theory it’s the most beneficial route humans could have chosen to take.
However not every person has the ability to think for themselves and are too easily swayed by others just using them for personal gain. People get so caught up in someone elses purpose they forget that they must have their own. Too often are we followers and victims to trends. For centuries people have always depended on leaders to protect them from outside harm when in reality if we all lived in perfect harmony there would be nothing to protect yourself against. The human minds obsession with greed, gluttony, control and vanity has been killing us for centuries.
People aren’t the only ones being taken advantage of, used, or killed. We do it every day to our earth and it's environment just so we won’t have to be inconvenienced in our day to day activities. We come from an era where information is at the palm of your finger tips and still isn't appreciated. Everything has to be bigger, better, faster. In our attempt to find perfection we fail to realize perfection will never be attained. Not in a computer, not in a machine, not in a building, and certainly not in a person. The sooner one accepts the fact that perfection is only something that a much higher power obtains the easier it is to jump off their high horse and treat the others around them with respect.
Stop chasing perfection people, God made us in His image and the moment we were created we were His perfection. We chose to do it our own way and look where that’s taken us. Down a long troubled road made of heartbreak, pain, and suffering. I pray everyday for every human being, all races, colors and creeds to come to the realization that peace and harmony is in acceptance and love. It’s deep inside of all of us some just choose to stray. Stop fighting the wrong sides battle... and start fighting for yourself!
