Kinda funny the way things work
Everyday gettin dressed plain white shirt
You can't enjoy the simple things
We're not allowed to spread our wings

While few live life like the Kings
We live life fearing
The Kings,
The Kings who,
it seems
control the globe and everything.
I scream.

away I'm going my destiny
it seems.
the man has killed the rest of me
for schemes.
killed my thoughts, stomped my dreams
for greed

"Atrocities!"
they decree
sadly everyone agrees,
agrees to leave
and pay the fees
cut down the weeds
and burn the trees

feed the greed,
feed the greed,
Democracy turned Oligarchy
with ease.

Using someone means you think your words lack something

Go by your words

Words have value in some quarters

Doesn't quite seem right;
I liked the way you expressed this.
