The app for independent voices

That was great. Heres an excerpt from a poem I wrote about this very thing: https://robdubya.substack.com/p/we-could-be-zeros

I never needed shiny things to feel So before my master never did kneel To gain the things you greatly prize That will only lead to your demise - My employers pressured me into wanting more I started lying to myself to improve my score And wondered why I couldn’t find the ambition To win in the empty war of attrition - It took so long for me to see Ignoring my integrity was killing me If i’d have just listened to tinkerbell I could have saved myself from facing hell - When you’re thinking that you’re worth more in gold Than you are in the flesh, to those that you hold When the endless voices in your head Will try to convince you, you’re better off dead - This is when the truth you'll embrace No longer distracted by the crap that others chase. My mind is clear from the things that they crave That will lead us into a grizzly grave - I've never been materialistic or followed the herd I’m the outsider whose voice is never heard Always drowned out by the good time crowd My words of caution were never allowed - It's people like me that asks the questions Not blinded by their manipulations That control the greed to always want more And succumb to the lure to be desires whore - But I was after something that isn't tangible The music I loved made the tough times bearable I was after a leader and from the words there came A light to follow from the world of fame - For 30 years I remained a blind fool My eyes were covered over with wool The symbols so clear once you know what they are Glowing so brightly from the fallen star - Why were they selling Bidens race Could they not see the lies all over his face. Why were they pushing the climate trains They will ban our coal after controlling our veins - Now they’re all pushing the vaccine horror Their rage has depleted to mendacious dogma Every single one of them no longer wise Following those they proclaimed to despise - It couldn't be that none of you See the damage the vax will do Why didn’t you say you’re legitimately concerned But you clearly don't care that your fans will get burned - Grohl taking the piss with Jagger the dagger That rubber lipped prick always was a blagger But Dave was sold to me as the good guy Time to line them all up and say a long goodbye - The hero's you followed, just hollow it seems False prophets one and all in the stadium light beams Its painful to learn but then none of it matters When the veil drops down the illusion shatters - It turns out your idols are on the wrong side Their cards on the table not caring to hide Souls long sold, telling lies unclean To live out their sick lucifarian dream - Is it the devil or just bad spirit they follow Is god really real or is he just hollow Just metaphorical creations to help tell a story Pure beauty and pure evil turned jackanory
