Land of the Free
It's mind control I tell ya!
There feeding us negative waves.
With selfish ignorance
and savage dominance
they dragged here all the slaves.
The day we set foot on Plymouth rock
The pursuit of happiness was such a crock!
"The pursuit of happiness"
But at what cost?
The independence of an entire race was lost.
The pursuit of Who's happiness?
What's the definition?
Are you better then me with money, power or visible recognition?
Happiness is a state of mind less traveled each year.
The state most traveled is the state of fear.
This state is cold an unforgiving
and almost impossible to make a living.
Humans here are to be called
"Mankind?"
I only observe "Man-blind."
They just don't see. To be equal, happy!
We must find love for one another to truly be free!
"The pursuit of happiness!"
Let it ring true !!!
Its when you see God in me
and I see him looking back at me in you.
Love-n-Truth

damn that was some deep shit. keep up the great work.
This is such a lovely poem, full of truth and lessons. I like these lines: To have money,power or visible recognition? Happiness is a state of mind less traveled each year, the state most traveled is the state of fear. The country where I was born is called "hell", so this poem make so much sense to me...
