Nice. I really liked this one. It sums up a lot of rather deep thoughts I have been having lately. Introspective to say the least.

What you call society
I call intellectual conformity
Cynicism replaces honest criticism
Minorities defining majorities
Media exploitation of their diffusion of information
Lying about lies that haven't even been told yet
Seems everyone has an agenda and that's the only safe bet
Personal vendettas growing and twisting truth into lies
With nihilism becoming popular it is hardly a surprise
Well you can call me a wake up call if that's what you want
But I will tell you right now that I am not here to flaunt
Truth,
It is in my soul and I want to share it with you
To throw some red into this world filled with blue
Shake you out of your meaningless craze
Fill your soul with something more than a thoughtless haze
It is past time that we started living
Forget your contentment filled empty existing
I challenge you now to seek out what is True
Reevaluate your notion of what defines you
There is one essential element of our reality
That defies all skepticism and smothers duality
In this world in which we all exist
There is one thing upon which all thoughts subsist
Truth.
People twist it, change it, rearrange it, but it's still there
The most essential question is whether or not you care
Challenge what you thought you could trust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Let lies and footholds burn away
Let only what's true actually hold sway
Let mental crutches fall to the floor
And accept that there is so much more
To the world than you thought you knew
For once just let your heart tell you what's True
