Food for Your Soul ~ Rhymefest with Citizen Cope

...there is so much more underneath the armor. How are we still engaged in war? Life is so fleeting and short and we all the same exact thing: peace, safety, happiness. It's only in the last few decades that we've become overworked, overpaid, and lost track of our priorities. We've compromised our family & health for materials items, power, and meaningless labels. How did this happen so quickly? Why did this happen? People and society created this thinking it would make us happier. Maybe it was just an experiment - but now it is a paradigm we accept. We are people too - so we can change this. Put our world back on track and help our fellow beings that we, ignore...
Why do we every day put the things that matter most at the expense of things that matter least? Are we all so scared of falling off track - losing our grounding? Where has the strength of the community gone? Why are so many people left on the streets, unsupported, and dying slowly in the cold - ignored. So often I wish our eyes could see deeper than the surface. If we can activate our minds, occupy our hearts, we can see deeper. On the surface we see a poor person on the streets, we see someone who has 'slipped through the cracks', we see someone stealing, fighting, struggling - but if we can activate our hearts and mind we can see so much more! We can see truth and hope and let this be our inspiration to inspire change. We don't have to accept anything...
