The Con of Side Rationing
Consider your friends,
Thinking on their terms.
Yet you leave something out,
Cuz you’re thinking for them.
The Con of Side Rationing
divvying up feelings
hiding the truth
even though not telling is the equal to lying
Consider this
Consider that
Consideration holds us all back
Consider yourSELF
Thinking on your own
Yet you keep realizing
That not everything is out
The Con of Side Rationing
a piece for you
a piece for me
a piece for me
a piece for you
Seems unfair to never open your heart
Not what’s what’s within
Keeping yourSELF under lock & key
Consider peace
Consider war
Peace is just so difficult
Considerations must be met
War is so much easier
Attacking is a cry for help
Peace, is my choice in its time
Though I’ve attacked enough
to know when to say when
It’s the Con of the Side Rationing
that keeps it all away
Consider me
Consider you
What’s inside me I share with you
Keeping truth above exaltation
And you…you
Consider
Consider that the time is near
Consider that which you fear
Let go of both
and you will see
That the only time they bind you
is when you won’t set them free
Convenience Whores
The over simplification
of life Personified
When even life choices
are left to the most
comfortable of rides
Take the easy way out
Go with what’s in front of you
No reason to drown in a drought
When you just take what’s given
May as well take the life your sold
Why keep diggin you’ve found coal
don’t strive for gold
Hey! Obesity in a famine
that’s the way to go!
So much easier to eat poison
than save up for t-bone
Let’s just go with what we’re taught
Just ignore that highest thought
Go with the choices that have been
made for you
Stick with your opinions to others,
ignore you
Why take love?
When you can have lust?
Lust is so much easier to sate
Hell, why does love even rate?
Better to live in a hole
than to have to work to elevate
Take the easy way out
live the life you’ve
already been sold on
Why make a choice?
Live out decisions
that reach back to forefathers
Think I’m going to start
rounding the corners
make the triad into a circle
Cuz I can see the convenience
of buying a whore
Least you’d get what you expect
Well… In one aspect
Least she won’t tell your
heart anything you need to reject
and if you tip her well
at least she’ll pretend to show you
respect.
