I believe that this couldn't be more right.
We live in a world full of plagiarists
Who fail to receive the gift of pure sight.
The insulting land of sad disbelief
Continues uniting conformity
While we sit at home, open prey to grief
Thieves and pain become a normality.
How many implants do you have to fail
Before you can see that it's not worth it?
How many friends have to pay for your bail
Til your soul learns it has to come forth? It
Is not up for debate, we need reforms
To bring our lives back into a balance.
Now we fly around in unthinking swarms
Denying even ourselves our talents.
As soon as the fledgling learns how to fly
He flocks to the new popular culture
He is taught how to cheat, steal, rape, and lie -
Becoming little more than a vulture.
Our government run by the richest man
Who wont hear the pleas of the bourgeoisie
They'll continue to make the worst of bans
Even if They're aware we disagree.
The politics lie to win our favor
For office to carry out their own Will
With power They intend to savor.
The soldiers become a statistic kill
Have you ever noticed that it's the poor;
The helpless scorn of mankind's evil schemes;
That get sent off to fight in causeless wars
Where screams seem deemed silent by the regime.
Nuclear war and death are minor details
As long as you are right - you think you are
The end justifies the means, right? The gales
Of Good and Evil confront from afar
The standard of life society set -
The bar of greatness we all "need" to meet
When man abandons this land of such debt.
Caught in the turmoil of such constant heat.
Our country loves controversy too much
We'll debate even the slightest offense.
Babies unborn, two men dating and such.
Does this affect you? It doesn't make sense.
What if it were rape, would they bear with pride?
The fatal wish of society's hands,
It's not something one can easily hide,
When we're faced with such horrific demands
Child molesters and parents who abuse
Children grow up to reflect parents - thieves
They set the bombs you've been forced to diffuse
No one stops them - and yet our country grieves.
Rebels take drugs for temporary highs
But they don't realize that-s all that they are.
Moments of pleasure before the brain dies
Or before they find themselves behind bars.
The media shuns anything righteous
Preferring instead stories of sorrow
Feeding us these fals'ties I think might just
Leave us without our hopes for tomorrow.
Religion is all about perception.
What they tell you is the meaning of life
Might actually be the worst Deception.
Don't believe their teaching to live by strife.
It's been said that atheists are evil.
Is intolerance considered noble?
Segregation gives more sin than Eve will
Over-simplification's probable
Especially among the "loyal" sects
Who dare not change their views for modern thought
Even with fatal flaws within their texts
Or when they say salvation can be bought.
Don't tell me that yours is the correct view
And I'll spare you the extensive debate.
Only so many ways to be construed
Only so many groups you can create.
Question what you hear, be careful what's said.
Accept each other's personal beliefs.
Follow your own path, what works in your head.
What makes you feel good, what gives you relief.
Illusions of love, our hapless romance
Dwell on sorrow, and follow it blindly.
And when it seems our souls have been enhanced,
It vanishes, thus killing us kindly.
Finding solace in pretentious phrases
Organizing meetings of the masses
Sunday trips with smiles on our faces
Making excuses for hopeful passes.
And what of the life we live after death?
Who knows what it is? Who's been there and back?
The question of faith is a waste of breath
Proving this: open-mindedness we lack.
Jealousy, greed, and hatred run rampant
The self-inflicted alienation
Water down our spirits, our souls dampened
Yet some retain their determination -
In a world hidden by inexperience,
Who stands in the light? Surely the next Christ!
But we've always dwelled on appearances
Well, who am I to give it a price?
