How Can Our Lives Ever Change
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
How Can Our Lives Ever Change
Some say -“Our Country is just.”
I’ve found that it all depends-
On if you can afford it.
Because justice is a word,
Created by the unjust-
To deceive those-who they can-
Into believing-their lies,
That they themselves-help create.
Through their own twisted beliefs,
They force others to conform
And become lifeless zombies;
Living through programmed motions,
They deprive all of them of-
Individuality.
How can our lives ever change?
