mediocrity is accepted
is appearing as doing the right thing
at the
expense of those that do the right thing
has the point been reached
where near enough is good enough
where fake and mediocrity is accepted
now the line between the two is blurred
are we walking blind into the dark
while bathing in the light of rightness
sleepwalking awake into a place
where the hypocrites reign
you may have freedom of speech
but only if you agree with me
they bite the hand that feeds them
and diss those that has gone before them
those that stood up,
those that fought
and
those that have fallen
in the name of freedom and peace
they wave their banners and flags high
but do they truly know
or understand
are they just being manipulated
to a evil master plan
the naivety of a pack mentality
blinded by the rigorous light
that illuminates their path
a path that will
led to the dark
for hundreds of years the battle has raged on
between the two who think their way is right
