DISMANTLING MAN

The train has left the station
Tracks are perfectly aligned
Destination straight ahead
To uncover the divine

All knowledge is possesses-able
Nothing is out of reach
No pit stops allowed
As the elite gain and teach

...science...

When did science become TRUTH
And research become fact
Like little lab rats, we follow
Only to carry words upon our backs

Words that break and mar spirit
Destroy empathy and connection
Wandering in our cages
For proof of justice to incite an insurrection

...of choice...

Obviously, man must be controlled
By entities who proclaim divinity
Yes, man has been stupid
But immortal isn't infinity

When LOVE has fully come
And knowledge put in its place
Man shall kneel, willingly
Because humility provides grace

...to stand...
