The Consummation of Greed

Thinking of the world as I stare into the nightfall bliss Of eternity My people are at war with the forces of religious hope What god can send cure to these happenings Fallen angels lie broken, sweating out the bullets placed by man Circles of light flash off the waters coast As the suckling is wrenched from it's mother's breast Placed within its broken abode The tearful cries of life slowly dispersing to a place of peace. I struggle to find reason of these faith controlled minds Why man to kill man can retain a higher value Can there be justification for the soul blindly departed? A man forced to breathe the dust of the earth As his life is extinguished The consummation of greed For Democracy, for the love of God Or for whomever can control the wallet of humanity The struggle for mankind to be holier than thou. Now as I sit and stare into the night The stars in their brilliance shine upon me I am able to share in their comforts of reality Basking in their ignorance of faith Though this moment, looking up to the sky I see the light of the sun with great intensity The creation of the man made God Unleashed upon the world to bring to not The existence of mankind.
