Venting

 Prohibit a from moving forward, resort to sniffing raw

 
Government like to keep the poverty stricken poor
 
And we ignorant to the intentional mission because how you expect a to miss what he never had before
 
Budget cuts, lay offs, hit with a ticket in your day off
 
And those thinking we all live like pigeons and hogs, come take a walk through what we witness before we were four
 
And you make a killing from us killing each other, but I still salute my brothers because they over seas in the struggle
 
Fighting ghosts to come home and still suffer, ptsd is another disease they wont cure, just treat
 
Homeless veterans but the service is suppose to make better men
 
Ima continue my temporary vent until it engulfs you and clogs your pores
 
Or til the feds shutdown my facebook and kick in my door
 
Or the nsa taps my phone and I get a text from snowden telling me what cnn is not showing
 
Why is it laws are not for government officials, thats to you mr price
 
Whats the price we pay everyday for something the constitution says is free
 
While the 1% is pampered, our children wonder aimlessly around a campus because some standard is suppose to set the standard for what you are gonna be
 
When as a parent I say the sky is the limit, but a test score creates limits
 
Confused because I'm just trying to make sense of this, how can i override a system
 
That I'm currently living in, wanna see equality or better yet everyone to share a equal reality
 
But our sense of pride is casually ignored, self worth and confidence is no longer that important
 
Hollywood is shoved into our lives til the point where we have to gorge on tv lights
 
Like that's real life, when those millions have killed real life
