Thoughtless Drones

Never given the chance to stand and say

Expected to sit and pray

Sit upon this wooden chair

Speak the truth if you dare

‘Be good and you’ll be forever

Cross me and you’ll see never’

Burn to the ground and then say a prayer

Speak the truth if you dare

Beaten into submission

A forged rendition

Truth hid by men of greed

Wanting the crowds to heed

Fire and brimstone is what they preach

While your money they leach

From their tongue God does not flow

The only way to know

Is to listen within – He is there

Hear the truth if you dare
