Poem
No fleeting moment commenced nor satisfied by pride, the rock we all stand upon Crimes against humanity are crimes nonexistent Why, since us, the human race, are actively conducting these great sins upon ourselves What do we pursue: a world of peace, equality a world in coexistence we stand walking down the streets without that growing fear without bolstering we need a holster for protection Isn't one of the commandments of public religion 'Do not kill' but it's okay if you're in self defense or feel you're threatened an eye for an eye, do I have it right but they don't take eyes, they take lives that domino effect wished to be erased Now we embrace the means of ending conflict with wars instead of with words air our grievances without phrases and meanings since we're big kids now We've graduated from fist fights to a revolver that leaves no trace psycho passes of 208 and no one listening There's plot after plot to assassinate others for the fun of it for the make of it, for the Gods that beg for it for some outside force no one seems to see commanding blood on the door If this is what freedom truly is the consent by the universe, by man to die at the hands of an object created by someone who is of the same flesh as me leave me a motorcycle so I can attempt to ride it off to Mars Why do we live like this They say we have the power to change things but we have no power for this This is a worldwide civil war, a worldwide civil war but there are no definite sides just an oval like fortress for the people who don't care for your origin, you're a human like the rest of us so here you are our friend I count myself among them yet I fear the outside world just doesn't care at all This is a worldwide civil war and the battle lines are skewed for these lines are redrawn by the months and setting sun This is a worldwide civil war but I shout to divinity to open their ears and aid in bringing about peace hoping others will join me for I am just one voice so I ask the public to join me Will you join me the crow asleep in this chapel on a weary Thursday
