Befuddlement of Man

Search your soul
Eyes as black as coal
Search your heart
For thieves in the night will take you apart
 
Back stabbers, rats and demons 
Someone’s always waiting to watch someone fall 
Have a thrill, rotten will 
Depression confusion take a pill

Self absorbed selfish behavior 
Kiss your way to the fruits of labor  
Make Gods of money 
Isn’t funny

When you should find a higher power 
By the hour 
Lack of expressions ,wrong directions 
for your children as you are a poor reflection
 
It’s all around the rattling sound 
Sloping economy research astronomy
Starving nations ,bad reputations 

Man at war 
The Unpredictable chore
Addiction, affliction, the destruction of the temple 
Loss of principle loss of example 
Man is trampled
