starstruck

A scrutiny of perceptions

STARSTRUCK
Stayed out late last night walkin,
With my friends, and they were talkin,
As I gazed up at the sky, I closed one eye to keep from shokin,
Every light of the night, shining bright throughout creation
Made me question the vanity of humanity, within the nation
Feed the presses with stresses, about messes so clearly skewed
Entertaining things of little value to change their mood
You cant convince a man, if its done against his will
He hides blind within his mind,in the dark confused chlorophyll
Burning thoughts ignite with might, like gas to open flames
Awaken shaken, and mistaken of wedding's impact on last names
Attempting to understand life, with clues where you reside
Never seeing the potential, of answers that lie inside
Rejection of the unfamiliar, remains a common trait
Maintaining similar perception, makes it easier to relate
A continuous influence, for aspirations of success
Making money, fame, and power priority,with love and joy less
As the world keeps turning, we all just play along
Till the accepted definition of whats right, transforms to wrong
Changing out your glasses, changes how you see
But changing your perspective, changes who you'll truly be
If you pay more attention, with closed eyes left behind
You cant blow youself, but you might just blow your mind.
