Description
Embrace yourIgnorance
That you are
Insignificant
You are frail
I am weak
We go together
And never speak
While they laugh
You softly cry
While they live
You slowly die
Your will is their doing
And your pain is their strength
Your life is a puppet
They hold the strings
A movie star makes millions
Yet when you think
They are one of billions
The president goes to war
While you buy another beer
From another store
It's what they let you hear
You are like everyone
Like me, him, and her
So give up the thought
You'll make it in the world
What does money do
When you have to buy your life
From a man who has a degree
To cut you with a knife
You are frail
I am weak
They'll cut you down
You'll never speak
The man is there
In your ear
Don't say it too loud
You'll disappear

... The President dosent just go to war. Theres alot of debate and he has to get permission from the Supreme Court before he can really do anything.

I realize a system, but with every system comes it flaws and defects.
And in theis instance, I explain one defect as illegal intentions brought on by oppressing forces(gangs, "ist's", etc), and their feeling of paranoia from suspection under the government.

Well, thats there problem. Besides, gang members are just a bunch of pewns in my own opinion. Why else do you never see one of them alone?
They are always with one of their "homies" so that they will have someone to back them up.

You are correct. Art is resistance.
It's a pretty haunting poem. Nice job.
