Essence Of Richie Poem by Laquory Jones

Verse 1
Have you ever felt so alone that you feel
Shivers up your spine they say 'life can be
So divine' but that is what I could never find
I live my life full of regrets, but
There's no rewind button
My mind travels back to ancient times
What happens when you run out of time?
I tend to get lost in the Cube, Mr. Rubik
While peeling back layers of its fabric
Sometimes life can be so tragic
They say 'life is what you make it'
But they never say how the world will
Strip you naked of your freedoms
If you didn't know I suggest you read
Up this is a new digest I suggest you
Eat up but this isn't politics

Verse 2
Chips in the brain is that even science?
Cyborgs going violent
What did they pay for the silence?
Where's our government when we're
In need of guidance?
All these thoughts just keeps on piling
Like what happens if we're no longer
Curious? Some people I see are furious
Richie you're just plain delirious
He can't be serious
The mind can be quite perilous
When free-falling with no parachute
People become quicker to shoot
When they see someone that's unique
Not liking what others think

Verse 3
What happens when we connect to our
Neura-Link, tell me is it really all for the greater
Good? What's the agenda? Perhaps we'll never
Know endorphins flushing internally through
My Nucleus & cascading through my soul
It's all internal all of our thoughts and its pain
Tell me, Is this the new reality we now live
In today? This is what my mind try to convey
Every night and day tell me what's happening
To the world, Are we really evolving?
Well Richie, this is how we evolve
Or is this how we dissolve?
Millions of us remaining aloft
Crucified at a cross
Words I'm at a loss
Separate the real and the false
Conspiracists say they've found a cure for
Cancer but no one's providing any answers

Verse 4
No one wanting to mask up
Corona has gone up
Was it all just a fluke?
Just more theories for us to rebut
Tell me, what should we do?
Like sheep, should we follow suit?
Even when the world is blasted by the
Nukes until bar codes are stamped
Upon our skin, whose foe or a friend?
Well that depends
As the plot just thickens
Only the truth just deepens
Just Richie and his deep pen
As he falls off the deep end
But its me in all my essence
Life provided me with lessons
The fall of Rome &
The fall of the great wall of Berlin
History repeating itself once again
The beginning of the end
