The Ignorant Symphony

Thousands of people scurry about
Living their lives in melancholy.
Their lives pointless; their faith in doubt,
What they think true is a grievous folly.

They contradict themselves with science
And worship an ancient tabloid.
Hoping sorrow disappears with a new appliance,
Thinking money & power will fill the void.

Selling their freedom for a frozen dinner
And placing greed higher than love.
Blaming others and calling them sinners,
As they shoot down God�s own peace dove.

Tearing branches from the tree of knowledge?
No�they use dynamite for that task.
Building a church on the ground they pillage,
Completely ignorant of the beauty they mask.

More intolerance; their thirsty for blood.
�Let�s go to war over the price of oil.�
Praising a dreadful past they never understood.
Tears fall from heaven as more hatred boils.

They�ll never cease until we�re all dead
And the world is a desolate rock.
Their stupidity will never enter their minds,
Until they're late & panic in shock.
