Anti-Power
The strong are always to blame for the powerless:
The rulers come up with the best of intent
It doesn’t take efforts to overpower us
Having police and stern judges at hand
Once deemed as the victims of a failed state
We turned up to convicts for waging a war
Though war is not ours to make, its too late
Our explanations won’t work anymore
The world is in full right to its imperfections
And constantly uses this right to impose
Further restrictions, in spite of objections
Why should it happen this way, no one knows
Proficient philos deny a free will
An apophatic god makes a call:
Some live in peace, some are destined to kill
Some are claimed guilty for nothing at all
Servants of power, please take my apology
I violate your best laws without meaning it
I don’t have a scheme to align with astrology
Your god’s a bit cryptic, I have to admit
So according to the conservation of matter
Comes the anti-power, with all that implies
You set the wholeness, I stuck with the shatters
Living one of those many fragmentary lives.
