Enlightening

Lightening all you have betrayed Enlighten the darkness in your brain Illuminate all you can perceive From contamination to disease The voices of hunger will remain Seeking the power to obtain A grip on the things that scare you most To weaken your spirit; to be host In times of wanting, and in greed Your first reaction was to feed Hammering fear in to your heart Causing your senses to depart Strength over others comes from fear Igniting the wars that keep it near A shadow that sneaks in to your soul From birth until death you are its goal Exercise consciousness and thought Look beyond everything you’re taught Analyse selfhood and reveal The bravest ambition is to feel Forgiving the people that betrayed Knowing their darkness and their pain Become the light you need to see Feel it in all those you set free
