They Have Eyes

the have eyes but can not see 
they have power but are not free 

they have ears but can not hear 
they have knowledge but do not fear 

if knowledge is power then who has control 
who is the all knowing who can harness a hold? 

if the road of information can lead us to hell 
why do we advertise education as something we sell?

is it truth for the mild or is it knowledge we seek?
is it a door way to heaven or hell for the weak?

the races will witness the history of mind control over man 
decpetion will be decoded when the chosen one stands 

the hour is near when the world hears his word 
not all will take heed not all will have heard 

the dragon will give a throne to a man
and that man will force a mark on your hand

signs and wonders will amaze even the elect 
but those who have taken the mark, God will reject

The deep thought and truths in your verse are amazing and need to be reflected on. The trouble is, it is not a reality to most so goes unheeded. You did a great write with this onel
