An Evolutionary Wall

How far can we carve into matter?
Sell bogus dreams, ourselves, our love?

How long can we pretend
And bring new generations on this planet

In three thousand years
Of civilization 
There has been three hundred
For peace
But not a real peace
Just a preparation, a breath
For war

How long can we ignore
Our tribe and what lies inside

Religion divides the masses
With false belief, a false coin
That the individual has not achieved
To find Truth
You have to stake your life
