Analysis of In an age ...
In an age where
Information is easily accessible
To hold unto ignorance, only what you know
Is a self inflicted misery
That no mystery medicine can cure.
In a world where
Individual liberty is fought for
To sit and wait for it to be handed over
Is like being a glutton,
And expecting to be skinny
In an age where
Your work determines you worth
To refuse work and expect an income
Is like Going to rob an armed man
While you only have a toy gun
In a world where
All the people barely get by on a nine-to-five job
To live beyond your means, and scheme others
Is like riding in a limousine
While living in a hut
*****This is indeed my perspective, and the reason I choose to expose as many as come across my path to knowledge, peradventure some can be saved by the truth they listen to, receive, believe in, and act on. I thank you all for stopping by.
