The Illusion
Bryan Kiser Jr 1989 (Benton Harbor,Michigan)
Born into the society world
I am matter which I tend to forget
The riches of the world says we will forever be happy
Deep inside fades away like the sun to night
Freedom is what can be not what was
Media always shows the glamorous life
Man's flesh races to keep up
Forgotten the way of humanity
Even the weak have something to offer
Time fly by as the veil covers the mask
Do I fit? What mask shall I wear today
Good and evil surrounds us all
Isn't the journey to learn to goal
The road you see before you is your creation
Is the world I see an illusion or reality
The mind plays tricks, the eyes follows
A change gonna come soon as the illusion leaves
