HOLLOW CAUSE



Ok you may notice it seems as though I reiterate what I say
However, that’s to see how much…if any…attention you really pay
What I wanna know, words of wisdom would you reflect?
Or words of wisdom do you reflect?
I’m not here to teach you, just hear for you to learn
It is for you to discern who you shows true concern
Do you wear a collar to follow the ones that takes you by the lead?
Have the ones wearing the collar taken you to follow their lead?
The sum are just here
though some, the just… hear
Prepared to be a figurehead?
Be prepared to figure ahead
of what the altar states
of the altered States
A place where mostly the minority reports
the law attempts to predetermine their thoughts
Hold them in concentrated camps as an opposing force
All should be standing together defying such a hollow cause
None recall faded lesions as this world wore one rebellion away after another
Yet we repeat because always there is one rebel lion as all tyrants do discover
Break free of coiled boundaries as negative mentality forms borders of restriction
Cease residual growth to fully replenish the children with positive direction
Show them their true selves, how they are all beautiful
Ugliness they felt was inflicted by some narcissistic religious devil
Let the youth know if a Creator introduced the light anew
This implies The Creator is of a familiar darker hue

I am looking beyond written 'histories' for truths that are intentionally disguised within words by way of using modern terms more…
