sell your soul

depopulationINC

See them stand and talk about
See them say it at will
What they want
They don’t need
Still they sell their souls

Self esteem is getting low
Nowhere else to go
What they do to get it all
Really is at will

Sell your soul
All for show
Sell your soul
Don’t you know
Sell your soul
Get everything you want and more

See them grasping paradise
See them in their thill
What they get
They’ve paid indeed
How long before they know

Sell your soul
All for show
Sell your soul
Don’t you know
Sell your soul
Get everything you want and more

Depop, I wrote a similar one:

Don't lay down and wither away.
Don't let them tell you what to say.
They can't control your hopes and dreams.
They can't dictate your plans and schemes.

What do you believe in, that's what I ask you?
What will you fight for? What are you gonna do?
Stand your ground.
Don't turn around.
There's alot inside you to be found.

They tell you where to go and you follow their lead.
And you just let your true self just lay there and bleed.
They tell you what to do, and you just obey.
And the whole time inside you, it's really not ok.
Don't accept their selfish ways.
Don't throw your soul away.

last night I was up till 5am and this reminds me of one of the shows that came on early in the morning. a religious show. Normally I don't watch this stuff, cos I don't trust the television sheperds, but I was up and I watched a few mins and I liked what it said. It said something about letting god guide your life, not yourself. It pretty much said God will provide what you need, but if you're not patient and go looking for it in other ways, you may get what you want, but it won't be fulfilling. Can't explain it as well as the lady on tv, but she gave an example of wanting a good job or good money. If you follow gods plan by being true to yourself and to him then you will get there ij god's time and you will feel fulfilled, but if you try any means of getting there by kissing your bosses butt, etc, you may still get there, and quicker. It will be what you wanted but now you are forced to still live the same way, continually at someone elses will, to keep that position, so you have what you wanted to get, but it's not giving you thegood feeling you had hoped for.

thanks for both the posts.

Pacifier, that is an interesting story, I find those types to be the same way. Its like road kill. You know what it is, but you still cant help but look.

Twin2, I like the poem you posted. I actually wrote this as a followup to one I posted earlier called 'Joneses'

I think your poem is more about standing up fro yourself/ your beliefs, and not letting others control your life. I meant to portray essentially grees...trying to 'keep pace with the neighbors.' I see so many people that buy something, just because their friend did, or worse yet, they have to out do them thereby outliving their means.

Oh, I think you are right. I think it's very sad when people feel the need to do that. They are worrying about very unimportant things in life. I know people that do that too. Their focus on what is worthwhile seems very screwed up to me.

dont get me wrong, spend it if youve got it, but dont be mortgage broke, or buying a 120 000 camper, when 25 000 is more than enough for the 3 times a year you use it....stuff liek that.
