Messed Up



Many got their minds messed up.
Too many people got their minds messed up.

In these blind made days,
People have their eyes on self destruction.
As a normal daily function.

In these man-made days,
People have their minds on self destruction.
And for them a normal function.

Many got their minds messed.
Too many people got their minds messed up.
Many got their minds messed up.
Too many people got their minds messed up.

In these B.S. days,
Common sense does not exist.
Or consciousness permitted,
Long has gone.

Too many got their minds messed up.
By lies.
To deny them.
And many got their minds messed up.
By choosing to deceive as a choice to believe,
In fantasies fictioned.
In these B.S. days.
In these B.S. days.
In these B.S. days,
People are made to fear their own shadows.
In these B S. days.
Disrespect expected goes on.

People got their minds messed up.
Over someone's race and color.

Too many got their minds messed up.
Too many people got their minds messed up.
Many got their minds up.
Choosing,
To be played fools.
