CHANGE? (Spoken Word poem)

THEY say change gone come
But is it change for the better?
Can we really trust who's reporting the news and the weather?
Lies and deceit, politicians campaign in the name of peace
Only to find out, that they're on the same leash
You see the system's got us all boxed in
But the sword is futile when laws can change with the stroke of a pen
The rich get richer
And the poor get poorer
No co-existance when we fightin' eachother over leftovers
Meanwhile, entertainment got us all enthused
Disregarding the fact that this country is doomed
An old proverb goes "You reap what you sow"
I guess we all think it don't apply no mo'
So we keep ourselves distracted and off track to become greater than our leaders
Books go untouched
What happened to the reader?
Maybe somewhere sittin in a theater
...Watching life as THEY want you to see her

LIES...

Why lie?
What is there to hide?
What is it that you're witholding inside?
You tell me THIS, when its really THAT
So I'm stuck in this trap
Like a fly on its back
I flap and I flap, trying to break free
But reality sets in, and you are the disease
A cancer spreading at a rapid rate
The things you say wont go away
I cover my ears and read your lies
In magazines you often hide
Hanging on to every word
The lies you tell won't go unheard
