Don't Make Sense

David Gilbert
Let me take your mind on a trip,
keep in mind what you see.
We're gonna start off with
a word called free.

The definiton says " not controlled by
obligation of the will of another."
Isn't this the way of our land
and rules we live under.

Then Weed is illegal but
tobacco is real cool.
And alocohol kills to
the system is real fools.

Then its so many people
with things they dont need.
Two people 12 cars look at
the mouths you dont feed.

I cant stand the selfish
I cant take anymore.
This earth has been hell
and its what i cant ignore.

This is america home of the free
Wait i cant smoke what does that me to me
wait i cant drink but i can pay taxes
its facts but i just learned how to believe.

Im not going to count on God to make a way.
He gave us free will thats why were here today.
He also gave us choices wether we're straight or Gay.
Its a choice so no one was made that way.
If you want to know how you was raised that way.
My brother is and im not ashamed to say.

Oh i almost forgot it aint about black or white.
Its about human rights.
The power to do what we choose to get to the light.

Im going to speak my mind
I dont care anymore.
Im their for the poor
this is what i decide to live for.

    Making sense is a bit like fairness... it is expected more often than it is realized! Nicely written!!
