“When you come into the world, you come into a vacuum,
Everything is in slow motion and you are only allowed to project through your two eyes,
Your life starts to rhyme with the time, and your mind automatically starts learning,
But your sound comes before your sight, to prove to you, you are first, an entity.
The first time you open your eyes, all you see is chaos and misunderstanding,
Different souls acting on their respective memories that have been solidified into a programming,
They have labels, egos, names, and languages... And brain patterns completely guided by judgment,
Without having an idea that it is the extent of your cry that signifies your rank and government.
