IS it worth it?

I feel like a voice of reason in a deaf society
Blind to my signals of reality that I gesture to them
While they're numb to the touch of the facts
They seem to go the wrong direction
As long as they're being unknowingly lead
And I try to scream to them to stop
But they seem to just step off the edge anyway
I pull them from the table slapping sense into them
Pointing out the fact that they are just being fattened up
Still they rush head on to celebrate some one else's Thanksgiving
With my people as the main course
I am the one that cares....but I am called the devil
Jumping in front them taking all the bullets
They look at my bleeding heart, my infected open wounds
And instead of helping they tell me I'm “blocking their blessings”
I don't know if the fight is still worth it
Whether my own people are worth saving
Should I still be awake or should I go to sleep too
So I lay my head down and close my eyes
But I still can fight the need to move as I hear the railroad of prison coming
To run my mind over with lies and pock out my eyes from seeing the truth
I forget again that I have given up on my own folks
Re-entering the losing fight again
Because I see now I'm doomed to forever offer a hand
When most of us are just looking for another hand out

Wake up.........
