1. Insatiable 2. Forced Repression 3. Illusion of Freedom 4. Human Error 5. Separative Adjectives 6. Unjustified Reluctance
1. Insatiable
A humans thirst can never be quenched
Too much is never enough
Due to humans weak mind
Resistance is unbearably tough
Humans can not suppress their primal urges
Even in order to preserve their existence
In this enlightened age
Humans know what behaviour is safe
And what will lead to their own demise
The public ignores the facts
Instead they blame the scapegoats
To rationalize their acts
Putting Your life in someone's hands
The ultimate in naivete
Why would one be so trusting?
Why could You be so stupid?
Another's reassurance of safety
Supplies you with false security
Since the beginning of time
Humans have altered their sanity
First an occasional diversion
Then a constant necessity
You need chemicals to live
Chemicals need you to kill
The risk of one's actions
Can be greately reduced
Make a decision
Inconvenience or death
Govern Your life by intellect
Not by instinct
2. Forced Repression
Anger and bitterness growing
I'm not always feeling this way
But as time's end draws closer
Pain's a larger percentage of the day
To seek an answer for my grief
I must realize from the start
I'm trying to feel compassion
For a species with no heart
Misunderstood, I've tried to be good
But You think You all know me
Unknown to You, all that I do
Has meaning You probably can't see
Judged by looks, when You are the crooks
Because You steal my emotions
Within my state, there exists much hate
Forced into me by Your notions
Undetected sadness, my worst enemy
Forces tears, nobody sees
You leave me no choice
But to despise all Your worth
You cause my pain
Never will I give in
3. Illusion of Freedom
Fools! Stop waving Your flag
And clean the shit off Your glasses
Freedom of speech, a government lie
To calm and quiet the masses
Freedom of speech exists
If what You say is accepted by the majority
One will quickly lose
That right when they are part of the minority
All popular artists are the same
This is no coincidence
Maybe the public would not respond to
Deviants
That is an incorrect inference
People with money and power are blessed
But they can fund and promote
Subversive ideas they have intentionally
Suppressed
To insure the safety of status quo
If one's ideas pose no threat
They are the ones to succeed
Monetary backing they will get
By the claws of corporate greed
True freedom of speech
Occurs when all ideas
Are given equal viewing
To the general public
Censor art
Suppress reflection of society
Censor thought
4. Human Error
Curse the priest
Rape the nun
Kill Jesus Christ
Spit at the church
Sin - Unholy behavior
Blasphemy - Church desecration
Evil - Irreligious
Irreverent - Lack of reverence
Overwhelmed by hate
Ridicule the cross
Around your neck
Set the torch ablaze
Religions are worthless
And for the weak
Sin - Unholy behavior
Blasphemy - Church desecration
Evil - Irreligious
Irreverent - Lack of reverence
For God
For religion
For worship
Hatred and disgust
For the values you set
Ban all religions
Decay is all you get
Burn the churches and temples
Burn them to the ground
Who cares what they saw?
Rejoice at the mound
5. Separative Adjectives
Prejudice, does this word apply to you?
Categories, most likely to be friends
With someone just like You
Are You a human, or do You rely on
Separative adjectives?
Pride (Vox By Billy)
Why do You take credit
For what You were born into?
Do Your genes give You an advantage?
Favoritism
Taking care of Your own kind
Continuing
Your own kind
Words
SAy what You mean
Mean waht You say
Hatred, afraid to accept
People different from You
Afraid to rethink
Your own values
Peace, it won't happen
Until barriers are eradicated
6. Unjustified Reluctance
Time and time again
Throughout the centuries
How many times
Must it be repeated?
A countless number
Of treatise
And all too few
Have absorbed their meaning
Regarded as prodigies
But You ignore the messages
Of these few
Perceived as honorable
And You can't find
The inner strength
To take to heart
Our responsibilities
And You have seen
The results from afar
Of perpetual neglect
Without a trace
Of empathy
So it will continue
That the words of wisdom
Will be ignored
Leaving us back
Right where we started
Wallowing aimlessly
In a world of ignorance
