Success of the Tragedy

Like magneto of marvel comics locked away Charle Manson has made his escape How did you do it? How did you get innocent to kill for you? Now he sits there in a cell writing memoirs for the government Now he sits there on camera with the government wrapped around his pinky finger School shootings and going out of your way to the wrong wars How else do you get people to kill for you? they as and study and prodded the genius..... How else do you get people to fight and stab and gouge and surrender their free will to insanity And now everyone at the top reads his books analyses his ramblings sings along to the songs written about him and they know for truly he is a humbled god Those tragedys of school shootings of psychologically tormented children with guns scared and thrown away with no other way out was a government success or was it? wrapped around the pinky finger of a genius the guards the politicians the musicians the philosophers the poets the teenagers the parents the martyrs The success of his tragedy!
