Free-Falling

Excuse me
While I peer over the ledge of what is destined
Below lies a sea of descending anchors
Which make our greatest fear reality
And cause us to go nowhere
So we stay grounded
As we attempt to sprout imaginary wings
That seem to be too weak to lift us from this curse
So we keep falling in reverse.
Falling into this endless hole
That we’re digging ourselves
Further and further into.
So we continue to fall
Dark clouds form overhead
To signal the change in protocol
There looks to be no rest in this eyeless storm
And it seems that generations are turning back time
But the difference is they’ve enslaved themselves
With psychological whips and chains
So the rain keeps falling
And will never stop
Since the forecast reads more captured brains
The world is impacted by the fact that
Babies will be birthed
Into this earth by ladies
That have already been infected
So it’ll take more than bravery
To break the chains that were lain on our minds
Because every day a new baby is born into slavery
But it can be said that
We were once standing higher than we’ve ever been
The cord is cut but we may never be able
To sever the bad seeds
Because their roots are dug too deep
Beneath our feet
So the problem grows,
While branches try to reach toward the sky like arms
But become harmed when the dark clouds
Shield the sun’s rays, explaining these dark days
We don’t need towers to fall
To get a wake-up call notifying
That we’re at Ground Zero.
The present makes us forget
How high we once soared above the world
Because we have plunged back to earth
Directly into our graves
With no way to reverse gravity
Meaning we break the bones of humanity
And engrave a past littered with tombstones
But if the community stays mute
And there is no unity
We will continue falling and falling
With a make-believe parachute
