Look In Their Eyes
Look in their Eyes
Who do you believe? Look in their eyes.
Is there the gleam of zealot or fanatic,
Or opposition to a pack of lies?
Do you see a sane man or a lunatic?
Do you hear the bluster of a liar
Who thinks by talking big he will seem strong
But only manages to stoke the fire
By saying what we know is right, is wrong?
Or do you see a man of strong belief,
A man of honesty and selfless principle,
Whose freedom would be stolen by a thief
Whose hubris makes him think himself invincible?
The day of judgement comes, the future’s beckoning;
We’re hurtling headlong to a day of reckoning.
