Sleepwalkers

Dr.Chemix

Hey you can call it what you want and will
People caught up in money like monetary fills
Gaps; when their soul can't even climb a hill
Knowing when to calm the waters when rain storms still
Just temporary features on dolled up fake creatures
Too busy color coordinating outfits with colored sneakers
Heart is more empty than a mason jar at grandma's house
Confused in their own disaster, haven't even figured themselves out
And you got time to accomplish the monetary
You sacrifice your neighborhood's honor for the money fairy
And she can't wait for you to return to her bed of death
She beckons you with fragrances, stealing your soul while you slept
Let a voice cry out and speak for something good; true
You quickly find boredom in that like a chosen virtue
But you more worried about who got shot and who slung rocks
Think its "hard" because your uncle recently got knocked
That's a damn shame, I'm tired of men playing a child's game
Women thinking having state babies is their ticket to fortune and fame
Yea we worry about money but we don't own ?
Got the two whips in our momma's name because we don't have credit
Walking in stores with our clown suits like that garners respect
You think you climbing out of the jungle and you haven't even broke the surface yet
Simple minds does simple things
The wise know the truth in what real value of life that it brings
Reverse Reverse wake me out of this self destroying curse
I take no pride to see my brothers and sisters ride in a hearse
All for the sake of the hustle and survival, the condition that's created
But we clowning the dude who speaks positive and looks for us to make it
Ancestors must be flipping in their graves
They died in our names and this is what we gave
Getting herded to the meat slaughter like modern day cattle
Warring with the next man when its truly ourselves we need to unravel

The title fit perfect, everything you elaborated in this poem is relevant in our society today.. a sad epidemic in fact.. fa shame.

I have many favorite lines...

but these last stanza's, they hit!!!
Ancestors must be flipping in their graves
They died in our names and this is what we gave
Getting herded to the meat slaughter like modern day cattle
Warring with the next man when its truly ourselves we need to unravel
