For a quest you’ve partaken, far to late now to regret
For choices you will make, and promises you’ll break
All the power you’ve been given was taken oh so quietly
By those without charm, just ever so slightly

Pushed and pulled from religion to race
So much harder now to live amidst this place
There will always be the poorer few, who know not why they are
Money is the product of control
To buy and be bought renting out your soul

Chasing your tail to never quite reach
Scraping the surface of what’s hidden beneath
To travel so far to be stopped at the light
Fearful to go forth you clasp with all your might

To the familiar feeling, the place that’s not bright
Away from the peace you stand back from the light
Preparing once again for another fight
Hoping just this once you lose
So you can use that ticket that’s never been used
Aboard flight 22 reserved especially for you

So I feel you I think me and you have the same wave length of thinking.....

Chasing your tail to never quite reach
Scraping the surface of what’s hidden beneath
To travel so far to be stopped at the light
Fearful to go forth you clasp with all your might

Wonderful word usage I understand you as an intellectual...
