Sum of Society

by Nick Tillotson - Aquarius

America, the land of the free
it's more like the land of apologies
This world would rather move on
then stop to see what makes one cry
The news would rather show you
how many people died last night
than to recognize a person that's still alive
But when I go
I want to be remembered
not as another number
but as another answer
As I'm alive, I want everyone to know
I'm trying very hard
trying not to let go

I have to stand strong
just not for me
but for all the people
and all my beliefs
This society will never learn
that it can't get the best of me
I'll be gone way before they can even get a piece of me
Sometimes I think God's against my philosophy
All I want from Him is a peaceful community
and the rest
will come naturally.

Reason for writing:

    I see all the bullsh*t that goes on each day in this society, and I'm just tired of seeing it. The only way I get things off my chest is to write, so I wrote Sum of Society. http://www.geocities.com/amarte01/
