Oh Cassandra

I wake up in the morning and see the chemicals in the sky
Can’t help but feel sorrow for all the people that will die

Too soon before, they’ll see their children grow
Too soon before, they’ll know what they don’t know

Oh Cassandra, can you help us from above?
Oh Cassandra, how can we learn to spread more love?

Mind control is rampant, live, and strong
And many, who know, just smile and say so long

Mixed messages and mocking from all sides
All to propagate the devil in disguise

The law is running backwards and hypocrisy running wild
And the masses have been transformed to a very stubborn child

Oh Cassandra, can you help us from above?
Oh Cassandra, how can we learn to spread more love?

Is it better to know and lend a hand?
Or is it better to sit and smile on command?

Two thousand years and he’s nearly pulled it off
We’re all just pigs now lined up at the trough

Will our creator come and save us all today?
Or is it just strategy till we evolve, in his way?

Oh Cassandra, can you give us some advice?
Oh Cassandra, can you convince them to be nice?

There is no place left, safe to run and hide
Exponential evil has already spread worldwide

How many times will we make the same mistakes?
The ease of manipulation has given me the shakes

Revenge converts so many to the darker side
Always to remember; use the light as your guide

Oh Cassandra, can you give us some advice?
Oh Cassandra, can you convince them to be nice?

Is this a necessary transition for our breed?
Will we eventually be cleansed of all our greed?

Is this perpetual, are we capable to improve?
Or is it designed to see which souls shall be removed?

I know I may not make the cut, and life may soon be grim
But, I’m appreciative for the life I live, and I’ll do my best for him
