Choices

Brought fourth to this world by our Mother
We exist by the choice of another
And the substance we may fill
Put fourth of our will                                                                                                                
And to be a person that holds aim
To claim
What we know as our name 
We are short lived in our form 
Transformed in a time swarm                             
Acting as though we are Extinct 
From the direct link
And those that live life reckless and determined 
Ache and struggle in confusion from the sermon
That religion has taught 
They could never see the illusion
Lured by enormous confusion 
Till they have fallen to their lowest 
Crawling back to the slowest 
Redemption 
Praying for an exemption 
From life
