The Duality of Reality

[Joshua Lee Sutton]

Man in the middle playing second fiddle to left and right,/
My right shows life and light, my left shows fights and plight,/
City on fire many pawns inspired by dire straits your entire fate,/
In the hands of hate death and taxes at higher rates,/



Death destruction and dysfunction facing dichotomy,/
Corporations cater to the economy but what about biology?/
Twisted Psychology, profiting off properties,/
Money used properly probably could of cured poverty,/

f*ck up the forest for fortune,/
And driving in foreigns and forcing,/
Animals out their element hard to ignore the elephant,/
In the room that's far from elegant,/

Symbolizing and emphasizing the negligence,/
Insulting intelligence,infants inflicted with recklessness,/
Innocent internally ingrained with insane thoughts on their brain,/
Mentally chained and eventually trained to keep nature constrained,/


The world split in two which side do you choose?/
The big business view, or the plants with the greenish hue,/
Duel with reality it's duality tools in actuality,/
Used by fools with a money hungry mentality./

Hi Joshua,  i Have to admit, i came to read a couple of times and the white text on black background had me moving on. Silly for sure, and glad i came back to read. Pretty dang good.  Tough, relevant, probing.. 

Elephant tie in is good but maybe a line about a donkey would be good.

These 2 lines kinda stuck out as different tone and cadence for me.

Seeing these as the "follow up" to line 1, i'm not sure that the  line with the options given support the rest of the lyric as it reads to me.

Good read and you kept me thinking.
