Open Your Mind

Flouride in the water blocking our third-eye.

Dropping our IQ...

Twenty-three studies

from four countries dismissed from on-high.

China won’t allow it in their water supply,

but they’re happy to ship it to America who’s willing to pay for the lie.

A college does a study proving America is run by a wealthy few.

No one remembers the details, we’re too busy with our own "to-do."

We complain and struggle all the same.

Some call for an insurrection of change

and are outcast as Hippy free-loader types

just venting their gripes.

People hate their jobs yet feel the need for money so intensely

to stay afloat within society,

that they can’t quit.

They’re even too scared to call bullshit

for fear of being fired.

Put on a blacklist so they can’t be hired.

Boxed into a cookie cutter mold until there’s nothing left to be inspired.

Stop being afraid and open your mind

to the possibilities of experience in time.

Cry, weep, sob, and rage.

Dance, sing, scream and claw your way out of the cage.

It’s your life, your stage,

you decide how to play the next act.

That’s a fact.

You’ll evolve from every impact

no matter how the odds are stacked.

With the right state of mind

one can see beauty

even in the middle of the storm.

Finding happiness

in the cold of rain

which will keep you warm,

and making tough choices

that go outside of the social norm.
