Asphixiation

[popkidu2]

im a busy little bee tonight it appears...

Asphixiation

above or below
guiding hands and taunting voices
try to force my will
on the radio and tv
i hear them tell me that i am wrong
standing above us
like vultures in the sky
they prey on our weakness
waiting until we can't move
we think we have no where else to go
that we need the key they hold in their hands
sparkling in the sun it beckons us onward
makes us believe it will unlock a door
a door that we can't see
so we give them our money, our lives, our minds
accept what they tell us without any proof
caught in this place we have no choice
the only thing we can do is believe
the crimes they commit are all for the cause
the sinners are shunned but the saints they live on
few are the ones who risk to walk alone
left to the side for not wanting to break
anger, resentment force the divide
it becomes us against them where no one is right
the longer it goes on the father we all strive
and now the message is lost forever it seems


Interpret as you like....I'm not gonna explain this one yet........

This one's really cool, popkid. I read it over and over. It could mean a lot of different things, which is part of it's appeal. It's late and I don't think my brain is up to interpreting it, but I did get some impressions. I'll have to come back to it I think.

face I had before the
world was made....**

**Work like you don't
need money, love like
you've never been hurt,
and dance like no
one's watching.**

I think I know what this is about. It's well written and there's a lot of truth to it.

I, I... believe in love

no need to explain this one popkid, I know what it means to me... great poem!

Could this possibly be about suffocation by religous leaders who preach until you cannot breath and then turn out to be hypocrites? I am terrible at interpretation but I have lived this experience and it fits perfect!

Check my next post because it relates a little to the subject.

You wonder what has happened to me"

I have felt this way many times. I think you have a good sense of how to cut through the BS to what's important, to what is real.
