An Airheads Complexity Part 1
There are some who live by fear
And there are those who live by love
Those who believe their perceptions
Should not be constrained or altered
There are some who think belief
Should be guided and dictated
They believe in the doctrines
Which relieve them of any responsibility
And all their laws and rules
Tell them how things should be
And damned be they to hell
All those who think and act a little differently
There are some who see
The shadow cast upon this world
And in the darkness of its aggression
They are forced to do as they are told
There are some who cannot close their eyes
Nor willingly close their heart and mind
To the inflicted suffering
Of their fellow human beings
There are some for whom this knowledge
Is an icicle in their soul
And it writes itself into every aspect
Of the false and intimidated world
And although their love and caring
Reaches out to all
They are confronted by the medium
Of a cold and thoughtless wall
There are some who consider
Beauty a mere encrustation of the scene
A pretty decoration
In the garden of their concrete
They look ever for the quality
They are to receive
From the payment
Of its service
There are those among us
Who do not care
In which way
You express devotion
They do not give a single thought
To your race
Your colour
Or religion
It is they who see
All the diversity inherent in all its propensity
To feel the need
To answer all the questions
There are some among us
Who celebrate the weapon
Their answer hangs on death
With the bullet and the bomb
There are those who think obscenity
Is in the sexual act of procreation
And they condemn the art of lovemaking
While watching the latest Hollywood war film
There are those on this planet
Who condemn and demean
Every human aspect
Of our God inspired creation
They who would haul us all
Into the shadow of their own self denial
And feed us to the guillotine
Of their twisted sick disconnected
While they
Feed upon
Our world
