My eyes have seen the glory of all that we could be
And shed tears of all we are not.
Complacent, obedient worker bees assimilate the simulation
To be all we can be
As seen on TV.
Ever blinded by humanity's vanity
Oblivious to the ripple we set in motion
From cast stones
And convincing ourselves we're all alone
Even when we're together.
We turn our backs to missed opportunities
Cast carelessly aside like unused condoms
And dirty neadles in the alleys
Behind our chrunches.
Where all too often we're taught
That there's just enough religion in the world to theach us hate
But not enough to make us love...
And Jesus wept...
Star-spangled gangbangers
Brainwashed to belive that
Killing is the only way to live
And that you need to take to give.
After all, tell someone that they're worthless
Long enough and they begin to Belive it.
Once we fought for freedom of speech
Nowdays the people who fought against it
Wave it like a flag While having the audacity to cry "equality"
All the while, addicted to the notion
That there must always be an enemy
At the root of all of our problems.
Never taking the time to look in a mirror And reflect.
The truth is simple
Divided we stand
United we fall.
And in the end
There will be no tears of sadness
Or cheers of victory.
Just silence
And a hopeful curiosity of
What will rise from the fall...
