by Suppression is the main form of learning
Not of ourselves, but of the ones who force it upon us
/
A life so greedy
A town left in the dust
/
Maybe we think we are educated
But we really should stray
From any idea besides the one
Where they want us to stay
/
Underneath a ground of politics
Distracted by our short-term interests
As we lean on the shoulders of those
Who we have disappointed
/
Although the tide rolls in
No matter your feelings
The true statements that overtake our thoughts
Make most things feel most uneven
/
Alas the end must soon be near
In one way or another
As one door opens
Another closes
And another soul faces those consequences
/
I am not one to speak
As I have not much to say
But if I did
What good would it offer anyways
Kept in the dark
As well all are
But that is okay
As long as I can lean on the learnings of others.
