MIND MATTER
The problem is violence and the solution isn't the fist. People are injured everyday
by apathetic attitudes and messages of destruction "You'll Fucking Pay for this!"
Frustration, self-esteem, the macho images are some causes of these vioent
crimes. But always using force with our fists instead of our minds seems to be the
best answer to a squabble. Never caring for ones feelings beating them down is
easiest. Letting government, global, racial, personal problems form you anger
which seems to get in the way.
Violence is the structure / of our destruction/ Stop destroying ourselves/ By
changing and making it a Mind Matter.
The effects of these feelings leave humans in horible pain and suffering. An injure
to one is an injure to all. Bloody knuckles and broken noses, minor problems to a
life of hell sometimes even being afraid to take a stand or afraid to go out in the
world. But afraid of society always beating you down, leaving you with a silent
scream for help!
Violence is the structure/ of our destruction/ Stop destroying ourselves/ By
cahnging and making it a Mind Matter.
The solution is resisting the reaction of an assault to the answer being
communication. Humans being the most intelligent species often blinded by other
ignorance. Violence thought as natural but being the most intelligent species we
should restrain ourselves before we destroy ourselves. Be aware of the hate we
breed on others. Stop exploiting ourselves with violence. We need to respect
each other and then autonomy can and will be achieved. Put your feelings of
equality and humanity into actions, by using our minds instead of our fist.
Violence is the structure/ of our destruction/ Stop destroying ourselves/ By
changing and making it a Mind Matter.
Lets work together and stop the violence now!
