The Truth (Original Poem [Spoken Word version])

This is a spoken word version of the first post I ever had here on Steemit. I think it might help with some of the timing people have. The text in the video is colored for certain words to draw a correlation.

The Truth

Darkness raining
straining eyes
Lies chokin
Unspoken truths
loose lips
hips swaying
saying "Come,
dumb enchanted."
Slanted news
views imposed
in those who hear
fear as opposed to
Supposed to be
free minded
blinded sheeple
People that
sat idley
Widely following
the swallowing
defecation
And reingestation
Of the truth

The youth, force fed.
Heads infected
injected with fallacies
Realities molested
digested by MTV
while these empty teens
seem dumbfounded
surrounded by bliss
this ignorance
is a hindrance to progress
we know less than ever
never questioning
The reckoning
Of so called facts
Put forth by democrats
and republicans
they're both ruffians
Nothing more than
high-class crips and bloods
thugs with loot
stashed in three piece suits
We need to give them both the boot!

Because those forked tongues
Have done sung too many songs
and wronged too many rights
They've got the whole world
caught up in a fight
Half full of snakes
The other half, rats
They've got all the facts tainted
painted in flattering hues

Listen...

Whether blues or reds,
Feds or revolutionists
Illusionist religions
Or atheistic magicians
They've all got their own renditions
and some blurry eyed vision
of
the truth
