You are just a number

To them we are a number,
Them to us, they are the truth,
The truth hiding behind lies,
They categorize us to place us,
Why,
From Our Social Security number
To our drivers license,
I am 4918, as of according to Dark Poetry
I am 453-99-9743 according to America
I am 10703617 according to Tyler Junior College
To Them we are a number,
To me I am number 1,
To us they are the truth
Who really defines authority,

Independence is a virtue
Become known by something
Other then a number

  That is so sad but it is so true ... *sigh* that will never change .. the worst thing out of it all is that some one murdered on the streets over drugs will get more publicity then the ones that die for our freedom *sigh*
