Simple Frustration

A start to a song about some of my observations of the world

64
Simple Frustration
Gwen Dowson

I am going to be honest

I see some problems, is it only me?

It can't be,

but it might just be

Are you all blind

Don't you feel a little confined?

Has suburbia been creating zombies

all this time?

There's a reason to the rhythm,

and you will find

An overpopulated earth has led to an unconscious mind

Were all weeds

With prayer beads

Watching primetime on

war crime while

moms sing racist nursery rhythms

Ok so you really think this world is just fine?

Check yourself

Step back and let's listen

I've got to tell you this life ain't fiction

Some mastered diction

Which lead to endless eviction

And racial friction

Suppressed stories labeled under historical nonfiction

Well yikes it sucks, but I have a prediction

Were all weeds

With prayer beads

Watching primetime on

war crime while

moms whisper racist nursery rhythms

A history riddled in crime

Ok so you really think this world is just fine?

Years will pass and fear will grow

From there the stress will start to show

Stress on the planet means stress on you and me

As the caps shift, the trash island will fill the sea

We'll reminisce to a time where we lived stress free

I'll say yup, were all fucked, its overpopulation baby

and ya, I think we'll keep on heating up, we'll see

But I guess most just want to sit back, let earth be

That simple truth is really quite sad to me

I'll try my luck, so here's my plea

Were all weeds

With prayer beads

Watching primetime on

war crime while

moms whisper racist nursery rhythms

A history riddled in crime

Ok so you really think this world is just fine?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
