Contradiction

Contradiction

There will be no peace without war

To give is to gain

But what for?

To love is to hate

But wait…

Now we’re to late to love some more

We lie when we try to be true

We’re true to those who lie

We give up when all we do is try

Then we cry in the night

Yet we try to find the light

We lie in bed with those who we do not kiss

And kiss those who belong to another

We’re hurt by our father

But blame our mother

They call us their son

But don’t treat us like a child

Apparently we’re their daughter

But yet we’re too wild

They lock us up and throw away the key

Then ask why we are not free

We hear the words true love

And know its meaning

We say the word love

And have no clue to its true meaning

We all want to be real but act fake

We all give more than we can take

And take more than what we make

We say stop but proceed to go

We say yes but really mean no

We say we know but we have no clue

We believe in lies but not what’s true

We live in a world where being bad is the new good

Instead of learning from schools we learn from the hood

Instead of reading books we’re getting lit

Throwing our life away with every sip

We live in a world where being rude is the new kind

Tell others to stay out our business

But don’t know how to mind mine

We live in a world of realistics

But stay stuck in the fiction

With all these lovely contradictions.
