yes, I know...

i say that a lot.
i wonder if
maybe its because
everyone thinks
i dont know
but i just dont see it
as anything more
than an acknowledgment
of understanding
between
two.

i know the way
the strings are pulled
the way the gears turn
in this enviroment
this atmosphere
this society

its a business.
everything is
each person
an organization
of thoughts, believes, views
and ways of living
influenced
compromised
sold
for ownself
personal
profit
big corp
buying
us
selling
ourselves
freedom
means
free
means
u get nothing
out of it.
somewhere
freedom
is making
the rich
man
richer
and the poor
man
poorer.
this is not right
and all the while
messing
with poorm's value
self worth
morals
ethics
behavior
living
life
ways.

its enough.
its time
for the truth.
what is truth
truth truly is relative
but to me
i define it
as no lies
up front
knowledge
so that each
person
on their own
may decide
the truth
of their opinions
beliefs
views
and stand up
for themself
and be ok
with who
they are
how
they are
why
they are.

for me
wealth is required
but it is never
the reason
or motivation
peace
rules
trumps all
tranquility
and love
in essence
G-d.
