Welcome to Kansas

 

 

CORN AND TORNADOES

 

This world used to be full of life, but now it’s gripped by too many mysteries and mayhem to prevent

Most from making a difference that could save this rock, yet the wall of avarice keeps many far apart,

Pushing us closer to oblivion because unless there is a way to get rich from all the developments, not

One finger will be raised and only the old ghosts will be left to lament over the missed opportunities.

 

People often wonder what it was like when the world was young and not dominated by corporations

Who produce goods that are never meant to last as the people demand more, but this consumes very

Precious resources that are rarely recycled and all the garbage will serve as the monolith to humanity’s

Fallacy that will one day become the sparks of the tempest that will quickly erase us from the universe.

 

Getting the latest goods because of some mainstream person uses something is dangerous as money

Doesn’t come easily for some and working long hours for modest pay is hardly a fair exchange as the

Many freaks of nature that support the economy have to make everyone else’s lives miserable as once

A disgruntled employee complains about the conditions, the limited power vanishes and it’s easier to

Camouflage a problem instead of dealing with source that festers every day without clear boundaries.

 

If someone was to write a song for America to explain how it got to this point, what would it be and

How long would it be to encompass the entire history and a myriad of ideas for the future that might

Have too many obstacles to overcome because there’s no one together on which path to take towards

A meek tomorrow, nevertheless down the road to ruin we’ll have to come up with something or the

Chances of seeing hope again will be so slim they will barely exist amongst the nightmare we created.

 

People are hard to please because it’s always never the same as something the once existed to provide

Joy during the times when we needed a pick-me-up or a boost to keep going on longer days and any

Idea of bringing it back seems pointless as there are more delights meant to provide a distraction from

Reality when there isn’t a back door to true happiness as that is a privilege humanity has squandered.

 

If there is some force watching us from the other side, do you think they should help us after so much

Damage has been done to paradise and to many angels have fallen in disbelief when we make another

Mistake that in your eyes doesn’t seem as horrid because you’re not meant to see everything that goes

Into making something great and if you don’t open your eyes to the truth, you can’t see the flaws were

Intentional to create disorder, all coming from the death to mother nature suite where sympathy dies.

 

No matter how bad society gets, some will insist we’re at the pinnacle of growth with our schemes for

Improving lives, yet all the world isn’t as developed and a lot people resent anybody ruled by material

Wealth at the expense of being a decent person who has great an absence of presence in the real world

Where great moments are silhouettes in disguise meant to see who is long overdue for a big disaster.

 

They say you have to fight fire with fire, but when it comes with people, creating a toxic environment

After being treated poorly is a bad idea because so many get caught in the crossfire that all the burns

Take a long time to heal and like an incident on a bridge, a lot of people will do what they can to avoid

Further danger because it’s you who decided to fight back in a childish way instead of being mature.

 

Always take life with a grain of salt because there will be a reason to be skeptical when somebody has

Something too good to be true since you can’t create miracles from nowhere without having them in

A cage to control who gets what and when because in the spirit of things born from cruelty, the swift

Return of wonder means can mean evil is closer than ever with lightning’s hand ready to pounce long

Before we wretchedly realize we’re at the end of the age of taking decent things and people for granted.

 

Finding someone to confide in can be tough, especially when nobody’s home or isn’t really reliable at

Taking time out of their lives to help others after taking in the view of a world that needs a lot of help

To get back on its feet and all those memories down the line of refusing to help can make it hard for

Some to find anyone new for support because it’s those unsung heroes that can do the most good as

They don’t seek glory or reveal themselves as the spider waiting for prey, seasoned by false sympathy.

 

In some portion of us all is a child of innocence that still believes the world is good and there is hope

Remains just beyond the view of our windows where people don’t fight and want others to find their

Ways to happiness after chasing shadows for far too long that you don’t want to run anymore without

A glimpse of home where people truly love you no matter how many times you’ve fallen from grace.

 

Still, there will always be those who must create chaos and think their next magnum opus needs to be

One that leaves many destroyed to the point if you see someone howling at the moon for relief seems

Normal, yet not many will be to call man overboard on both sides of the chaos to make others realize

There are too many problems from having industry on parade to provide some distractions from the

Issues that build up over time, although chaos creators will just say this is simply a fleeting gnat attack.

 

 

It’s not easy being the preacher of bad news, but someone has to do it because nothing is ideal for too

Long and if you’re a loner like me, you’ve seen others happy to the point that it hurts to receive a kind

Gesture from friends and I feel a mixture of emotions inside of me going in every direction trying to

Break free of the relentless battle of wanting to be normal, yet there has been too much damage with

Not enough time to heal and won’t last much longer with this heart without compassion for guidance.

 

All I wanted out of life was to find someone to hold me tight during dark times, however no one sees

Me as worthy of such affections because there’s no room for a stranger who has to be weird to find a

Place in the light to spread their dark revelations for those who want two cents worth of advice when

They can’t face it that their problems aren’t so simple from being ignored for too long and expecting

Someone else will shoulder the burden while a curtain of iron serves as a dismal barrier from anxiety.

 

One problem with me is that I’m damaged goods and long ago I counted on love to save me from all

The nightmares of not having too many friends during desperate times where I felt ready to crawl in

Some ditch and wait to become dust in the wind as so many left me behind and at night it was worse

With nothing to do in a lifeless and the coming dawn was nothing more than a reminder that I had to

Endure another long day of misery with only the lonely wind of the empty streets for brief company.

 

While I did flee after a few people took drastic measures to take me to a better place, it sadly was the

Catalyst for a lot of fights amongst my family when they provided a secret service of keeping me in a

Happy state by denying others the same luxuries of wealth because I was a refugee who had too much

To unpack and it’s easier to be away from you because any love coming from you has been poisoned.

 

I’ve had too many bad days where I’ve felt unappreciated and I go home borderline ready to fall apart

Amongst the darkness and only find the strength to sleep when I can’t cry anymore, but rest scarcely

Finds me to pass the time until the cold grey morning arrives and I have to face the same issues again

As I try to hold my head above water while going through the motions of pretending to care about a

World made up people who make up the circus of illusion meant to provide false hope before doom.

 

All I can be is hopelessly human as there’s nothing that can happen to turn me into something from

Comics and other media, however when I write, I can fly and do other impossible things to cope with

A life that has lost its luster in some areas when it’s not easy to say what’s on my mind around people

Who cause me pain in place that forces the crowded isolation of not being what others want, yet there

Isn’t anything else that could be done as I travel down the dark and lonely street that goes on forever.

 

I’m not sure of what this new year holds, but it’s still a long way to the point of no return, yet there’s

No way to know how this world will survive if the distant vision of tomorrow loses its light and if my

Dearest of friends won’t stand beside me knowing I’m not perfect, but I want to be there for them to

Prove we’re not alone anymore in this cold world and you make me peaceful and warm, so I hope you

Feel the same because you don’t know how my souls cries out for you when I feel trapped in the dark.

 

No matter what happens in the future, please don’t take your love away because nothing is perfect or

Wants to change, yet know that I’m a better person with you and I got to rock on with people who

Truly are a once in a lifetime experience and should be a part of everyone’s lives to show there those

Working hard to make the world a better place and will do anything for you to unlock your potential.
