"thoughts" to peel our skin... 'til we got nothing but bones, missed telephone calls, falls to the ground, buried with baggy clothes, to call ourselves thugs, gangstas, intellectuals, hos, but what we want most... is to retract the statement, to believe we live in harmony, (do you get it?) why do you think most of us try to say peace instead of bye, we're trying to get by with peace, hoping that bond will help through time, it's just a word... word? give me one chance to explain, world not refrain from myself, but help you notice more than the exterior and redecorate the interior that we aren't inferior nor trying to be superior... only living, hourly through minimum wages not looking back, learn to laugh at our idiotic phases ignorance is only as blissful as you let it, everyone wants to live in happiness, so we fed it, like an animal that loves our blinded reality spent our whole paycheck from our misely salary to keep content our greatest fears misery, pain, heartbreak, death... with even our last breath, we spew just acts, like a tradegy, (sort of like macbeth) what i considered were facts, just the need for some compassion understanding of my problems which are minimal crums compared to the boulders you see them, holding, end up folding the list of shit i don't have but want, creased up paper of complaints, (oh please) just another molding of collections to fuck up dreams we desire to achieve the best of the seeds plant trees and clear skies with our poetry the only one stopping us is not our surroundings but the lack of confidence in our own beam that will light as far as WE want it, the talent, there isn't a need to flaunt it, be fond of it... world, this wasn't for your benefit, but ours, this is a reminder that we'll make it. 060917 ... hilltop hoods and you're a happy mother fucker 060918 ... Keil But not knowing is sometimes the bane of our very existance. How do we expect to survive, let alone thrive is we remain ignorant. How is being hungry bliss? How is burning thirst supposed to make you happy? Knowledge is the key to all happiness, not the lack thereof. Ignorance is merely the door that barrs your route, not the route's end. Unless you lack the key to open it. If you never find the key, then you percieve the door as the end. Then you lead your life percieving what you mistakenly lable "bliss." It's not your fault, you're stupid. 060918 ... () ( ignorance is ignorance ) 061218 ... rage against the machine listens so wipe this smile off my face 061218 what's it to you? who go blather from
