Eclipse

Today I opened my eyes to reality and saw the true tragedy! We're hiding from the light that will either give or take our sight. Shaded like a blimp, cold like our lips, are lives are nothing but a solar eclipses. 

 
We let the darkness move  ahead so we are then blinded till we're dead. I grew up believing that everything I learned was a bleeding fact. Later I was to find out my mind was being hacked. A virus inserted, my beliefs converted, and now the truth in me was to be deserted. 
 
This spinning sphere, neglected into fear has become a guest in its own home which we've turned into a polluted dome. And this trash isn't literal. Because let's be real, we fill our phones, we fill our mental domes and even our spiritual homes with banana peels for distractions. That's why everywhere we go, we slip. We slip into sin, we slip into gin, and don't forget that time when you slipped into his arms, again.
 
Quit letting the smoke get into your eyes. The green you blow is only provoking you to believe lies. But I'm not judging, all I'm doing is invoking your cries. So it's time to change before we revoke our true prize.
 
I'm standing here with these real eyes trying to get you to realize that this life we're leading into is only filled with real lies. But yet again when you make mistakes the most, eventually it'll help you grow. Then you act mannish, but stay planted cause you'll be reaping what you sowed. 
 
Now dig deeper. Sometimes you have to live life deliberately before you meet the grim reaper. Sharpen your knife because life's your oyster. We all get one but who holds theirs closer? It's time we suck the marrow out of life and believe we're all Pharaohs tonight.  I'm a king surrounded by queens amongst a dream that our eclipses doesn't send us all to the abyss. I won't burn because you won't learn so get your get your head out your rear end before our termination letter reads send.
