Humiliation of Society

Hearts beat in shallow chests as brains tick in empty heads Unseen eyes glitter as to small hands pull to big triggers Money wouldn’t let go as it dragged the world behind it If bombs fall killing everyone do they make a sound? Lies come from microphone equipped stages as the masses keep a clapping I watched millions die for greed of the liquid black gold genre After he lost faith the son of god sold out and did Nissan car commercials Truth is swept under the rug by the politician janitors In the jails of hate of race only people stood Only language of government, propaganda Nations bleed white vomit as they all turn into one Open your mind to your own thought not just what your taught Flags of freedom flew high creating shadows of corruption Someone asked quietly did he find his nuclear weapons? Our violence took control as we laughed at history Calling voices from the gutters to an unhearing feeling Indicating that this is a mistake and it may be too late to start to cooperate Even religion took its place behind the rolling tanks of destruction Thought is the only thing left to save Kneel to our new god, fear

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
