Corrupting Lies

To be scorned by the world Social conditioned by lies You’re all to blame With contradictions and hypocrisy, you grasp the world in a fist I will not conform to your false guidance To be ignorant, leading to stupidity I will not remain as the fool Why do you spread contradictions? Spreading war for so called peace Violence leads to more violence Hate leads to hatred Lashing out for vengeance Who catches the blame and lies Soul crushing oppression Betrayed by the snake Sneaking around for their own cynical means The laughs of the selfish rich echo in the mind The cries of the poor, struggling for happiness You must guide your own path Your personality and tuition is your own weapon to see through the mirage
