Constituted Corruption

Since dawn of time, mankind always fought authority Rulers of nations, king's they call themselves Always wanting to build upon a foundation Like a bully, a thief in night's mist Pushing greed of their own selfishness Their hands, soft as birth of a child A clamor, expression to everyday society life They send forth their envoy, talk's of talk How things negotiate to rules and regulations What is it one wants to be pay for nothing Their nails, not ever known the soil of smell Freedom, where is it one man has ever live? Except his opinionated belief of his own ambition Change not constitution, equal to man; how long thou nose growth We bend to please what is condoned wrong Constituted corruption, just cause you say it to be so Trees bring breath, we kill off everyday Our desires for knowledge feeding our thirst Do we progress or just die over and over again Polluting the lands in unbelievable amounts What is purpose that I lead the journey Except their eyes as deaf as thou ears Where is it life has gone from past days That I grow constituted corrupt, befallen to a world Or standing strong one man's faith in humanity Where as Jesus walked his path to redemption I now know how he felt, like fighting losing battle But giving himself to God and country to death's last breathe Constituted Corruption, where freedom rings reigns of the living
