The world of illusion's.



They teach me to hate;
They said I had to compete;
To be the best and better;
To be the smarter and faster.

They teach my parents to pray;
And just work for the pay;
Using faith to wait;
For a miracle a day.

I start listening to histories;
Saying that all I learn was lies;
I felt sad as my black inheritance;
Was made poor to lose importance.

I start researching for answers;
To make sense of these powers;
That are inside each one of us;
No matter race or status.

I learned about will power;
I learn that is not a right answer;
That you learn with mistakes;
And is no winning in massacres.

Today I teach my kids;
To doubt media and stories;
To live inspired lives;
protecting the planet and all animals.

We are all part of a bigger plan;
That is above money or Satan;
We are energy and matter;
Not data and corporations numbers.

We have to help each other;
To be balanced and stronger;
To use our talents and voices;
For the freedom of all minds.




The world is beautiful;
Happy and joyful;
We all will find this conclusion;
When we break free from the illusion.
