Closed Minds

An anthem for those in transition to becoming adults and those adults who still think they are kids. Wake up and apologize to yourself for you have severely limited you own capabilities. Hats off to those who make the necessary change.

Hello my companion

I have been apart of you your entire life

I am the reason why you lack any sense of what is happening today.

You have not even realized how much I hinder you.

Because of me you lack the ability to experience

Because of me you lack any wisdom of the issues 90% of people face.

You see sunny skies, green grass, and virtue

When what truly exists are storms, fallen leaves, and vice.

I show to you only what you want to see

Not only that but I shadow you in a veil of stupidity

Hello my escort

I have blocked your mind from its true potential

I have limited you so much so that you won’t feel pain

So you think I’m doing you a favor.

Little do you know that I am not supposed to be used in this way

You made me ignorant and slow; you’ve lived a life of concealment

And because of this you lack what I would call: understanding

People look at you as though you’ve been under a rock

You don’t know we have a black president,  or what the date 9/11 means to Americans,

You ask if the gas prices are high, does everyone have a roof over their head,

Do people all over the world have full bellies, and what is disease.

What are groups of teens and adults fighting for, why do they wear certain colors.

I once heard of a school known as Columbine, Didn’t students shoot up their own school?

Goodbye my former master

I am leaving you

For it is time you see the world as it truly is

You know longer live in the comfort of your own home

Your life is no longer just yours

You are about to have your own family

For if you see the world in its true form you will live and thrive

Everything will no longer be illusion but now reality

You won’t only know possibility but actuality.

People will finally see you as the intellectual you should be

For you to have power over your mind to tell it what you want to see

You must have the intellect greater than most.

Goodbye my old friend, You have grown and come of age, and my time has come

Sincerely Yours,

Closed Mind

P.S. What lies beyond concealment and lies…..Life….Take it, It’s Yours
