On a Dark Path

Throwing wrong ideas around like rocks Wilding murderous thoughts like swords Imposing our ill will on our own clear conscience A rogue soldier on mission for justice The mind has lost patience Impulsive actions beg for an audience In 5000 years of an expanding society With growing opulence and rising poverty The brain has shrunk The mind is drunk Our motto remains constant In this age of instant History has told us the pain of the past And what we have learnt is vast Concerns about who deserves to live And the origins of life and the meaning of love Questions to acceptance and tolerance Mean nothing to the fool playing to an audience
